I posted this as a bug, and was told by Sven Neumann the behaviour was intentional and to raise it here. Currently, when saving a selection to a channel, either using the UI or via the PDB, the active drawable gets changed from the working layer to the new channel. I believe the active drawable should remain unchanged (i.e. where the selection was made). The current behaviour is confusing to a user because of the following fairly typical scenario: User wants to blur a portion of an image, but wants to save the selection for later use. 1) make selection 2) Select > Save to Channel 3) Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur Now the user is blurring the saved selection channel, not the layer they started on. -Rob A> -- Sent from my mobile device _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
