So should we have these 2 concepts?
If we have multi-selection, do you have a concept of "main
selected layer", which is the one where drawing occurs? Is it then
the first of the last selected layer?
Actually you end up with three selection concepts:
- selection for painting (single selection)
- selection for geometric transform (actually faked as 'links')
(even if links also apply to non-layer things, such as paths and
channels)
- selection for operations/management (drag/drop in the Layers
list, possibly drag/drop to another image, set visibility, mode,
opacity, alpha/pixel lock, links, add alpha channel... , remove
text information, text-to-path...)
In addition to this you have to consider how scripts can use
this. Most currently trigger on the link or visible flags so
having a third flag could be good.
PS: should not the mail from this list have a properly tagged
subject line [Gimp-gui-list] like its two siblings?
