Re: [Gimp-developer] Create New Layer Button

[Tobias Oelgarte <tobias oelgarte googlemail com>]

Why not combine both approaches? For example:
- Left click on New-Layer Button: Create a layer of the same type the 
user added last time.
- Right click on New-Layer Button: Show a popup and let the user choose 
which kind of layer he wants to create.

The right click will be a short route for creating a layer of the same 
size as the image but with different background fills. Additionally an 
"advanced" menu entry could be added to the popup, showing the current 
dialog.

This should make things more fluid.
