If I may, I would like to suggest a little improvement aimed to get rid of the only snag the script could encounter, occurring when the active drawable is a floating selection. Indeed, although the event of pasting into such a "quasi-layer" is surely rare and atypical, all the same this operation alters both the floating selection and the drawable it is attached to, since eventually the former will be anchored to the latter and its content replaced by the pasted object. So, it might be worthwhile forcing the script to ignore floating selections, for instance with this initial condition: (case (car (gimp-layer-is-floating-sel active-layer)) ((1) (gimp-message "The script doesn't affect floating selections.") (quit) ) ) In order to make the script effective even on any floating selection, another solution might be to transform at first this object into a layer (through the "gimp-floating-sel-to-layer" procedure), but the problem of this choice is that such procedure returns an error if the floating selection belongs to a channel or a layer mask. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
