Hi Martin - First, your questions would be better directed to the gimp-user (instead of gimp-developer) list. And I can also recommend the script-fu group on yahoo. To answer your question: you can avoid creating the intermediate variable by doing (gimp-floating-sel-anchor (car (gimp-edit-paste target-layer FALSE))) To ensure that your selection winds up in the same place in the new layer, try (if you can) making sure that the layer from which you get your selection is the same size as the image, using (perl-fu-layer-to-image-size 1) . This works on the active layer only, and may not work on windows systems lacking perl-fu support.
