GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 340491
One layer merges should be permitted
Last modified: 2006-05-03 07:43:19 UTC
Rather than have a merge of a single layer result in an error message, it might be preferable to have the operation apply the layer mask and the Opacity setting to the layer. Other information: Currently a request to "merge visible layers" with only one layer visible or to "merge down" when no lower layers (in the stack) are visible results in an error popup to the user. There are a couple of situations for which this operation is not unreasonable: in particular, to apply the layer's opacity setting. I will follow this report with a patch that implements this change.
Created attachment 64722 [details] [review] One layer merges Implements the following: If a single layer is merged, that layer's mask is applied, the layer's opacity setting is applied, and the layer given a new opacity of 100%. This patch actually just removes the multilayer restriction from the code.
