Both use cases (opening as separate images and > merging into one) are perfectly valid. Valid vs. prudent is the question. Do more people use it to combine layers or open a bunch of images? When the New Image window is the only one around (for the Utility window - reason given), how does one easily open two images? I have used the Gimp for a long time, and never have I thought "Hey, I want a layer from another image, let me drag it onto the window...". If I wanted to do that, perhaps dragging to the Layer box/window would be a more obvious choice? Dragging two images to the "Image Window" should treat them like two separate "Images". Just seems logical. I asked a bunch of people in my graphics dept, and they agreed. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
