Re: [Gimp-user] Not moving layers

["Joao S. O. Bueno" <gwidion mpc com br>]

You can't, but that usually is not needed -
what you are probbly missing is that by holding "shift" + click when
using the move tool, you will always move the current active layer,
not the layer with the first non-transparent pixel under the pointer.
(which is usually the situation when you'd be moving a layer you don't
want too)
