Description Hakon 2002-01-17 12:16:04 UTC 
It would be nice if text and shapes objects could be considered as
individual floating selections (not raster images) throughout the session.
Thus it would be possible to easilly revise them during the session
regarding size, colors, placement and more - without ruining the
background. They would be tied to a certain layer. Every time two objects
collide - just compute a z-index value. It wouldn't require much more
memory (maybe even less?), but sure it might be a little slower.

This is how it looks in the layer window in another program with this
feature. Then each object/selection could be dragged from one layer to another.

Layer2
 |_ shape
 |_ text2
Layer1
 |_ text1
 |_ shape

Some of these suggestions are also mentioned in bug #61786.  An
earlier wishlist item related to importing/exporting xfig files can
be found in bug #6893.

In GIMP-1.3 this is implemented for text. Changing in the title
accordingly.
Comment 4 Alan Horkan 2003-07-23 18:40:07 UTC 
Changes at the request of Dave Neary on the developer mailing list.  
I am changing many of the bugzilla reports that have not specified a target
milestone to Future milestone.  Hope that is acceptable.

The vector layers SoC project is interesting for this report: http://code.google.com/soc/gimp/appinfo.html?csaid=26F82BA0B5805CD9
Comment 8 Martin Nordholts 2008-11-08 20:11:20 UTC 
Setting this to depend on the merge bug #557970 and on the 2.8 milestone. We might want to close this as DUPLICATE or OBSOLETE or something when the merge has been done.
Comment 9 Martin Nordholts 2010-01-15 20:11:17 UTC 
What the heck let's just close this as a duplicate of bug 557970 already.
