All of the tabs in a particular dock are associated with the same image. If you change the image that is associated with the dock (either through a change in focus or explicitly in the 'Image Selection' drop-down), each of the dialog tabs of that dock are updated with the corresponding information. If you add an additional Layers tab to a dock, it would end up being just a mirror of the original Layers tab because it is associated with the same image. However, if you place that second Layers dialog in a different dock, the other dock can be associated with a different image from the original dock. To create a second Layers dialog, use the "Add Tab->Layers" command in your Layers window's menu and then drag the newly created tab off the dock. Alternately, you could create your new dock by opening any dialog which is not already open (for example, using "<Image>/Dialogs->Histogram"), and perform the "Add Tab->Layers" in that new dock. You will want to configure the new dock so that the "Image Selection" drop down is visible and not set to Auto. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
