GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 526709
Get Copied Image's Dimensions
Last modified: 2008-10-30 20:12:00 UTC
Requesting that GIMP get the resolution (width x height) of a copied image (Like Paint.NET and Photoshop do.) It's annoying to have to type in the resolution manually. Although users can bypass this by selecting the image using the selection tool, and taking down the pixels (width x height) themselves, but that's tedious and won't always get the exact image's dimensions.
Just use Paste as New (Shift-Ctrl-N). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 315106 ***
