It is pleasing to learn that there is a plan to support masking content of the constituent layers of a group and not having it removed it destructively through cropping. I see little problem with a clipping paths approach as long as it is easy to define and/or modify rectangular clipping paths having a certain width and height. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
