Hello, I just wantet to copy a rectangle area from a source-layer to a target layer of an image. That's what I done first: (gimp-rect-select image 0 0 layer-width height REPLACE FALSE 0) (gimp-edit-copy source-layer) (let ((floating-sel (car (gimp-edit-paste target-layer FALSE)))) (gimp-floating-sel-anchor floating-sel)) This works for a lot of cases BUT if I have an image showing a figure on a transparent background (with alpha channel), something strange happens: The position of the figure on the target-layer is shifted (an the only the figure itself is selected) It only works if the bounding box of the visible parts equal the selection. I got the same results using the GUI (also with select-all). How can I avoid this? Is there a faster way to transfer the layer contents to another layer, avoiding the intermediate step of the buffer?
