Description kaplani 2011-04-20 02:42:32 UTC 
Allowing autocrop all layers would make reducing the size of the file very simple. There isn't any potential in damaging a layer.
Comment 1 Martin Nordholts 2011-04-20 04:52:21 UTC 
This should rather be automatic, we don't need a new menu item or similar for this
Comment 2 kaplani 2011-04-20 05:13:57 UTC 
No it shouldn't, automatic wouldn't make any sense. Sometimes we want a layer bigger than the content because we will be adding stuff later. A menu item would make sense.
Comment 3 Martin Nordholts 2011-04-20 05:15:59 UTC 
It will automatically become bigger at the time you want to add stuff. E.g. painting outside existing layer boundary -> layer becomes bigger so you can paint.
Comment 4 kaplani 2011-04-20 05:21:20 UTC 
We may have a misunderstanding, when do you suggest it autocrops?
Comment 5 Martin Nordholts 2011-04-20 19:04:08 UTC 
I can think of three cases:
* When GIMP is idle
* In low-on-memory situations
* Right before writing to file

Duplicate of bug #93639?
Comment 7 Michael Schumacher 2015-07-22 20:06:29 UTC 
Let's assume it is.
