I want to insert the current image in the cache to my current gimp project. You can easily do this by ctrl+v, but then the new layer is floating. When you create a new layer out of it, it will be the first layer and I have to drag it to the right position in the layer map. When I use "insert as new layer", the layer will be correctly sorted in the layermap, but the insert wont be on the x/y position of the previously selected layer!
I found a script that does something very similar, but it uses gimp-edit-copy & gimp-edit-paste to insert the layer, which isnt what i want. How can I change this, so it will insert the image from cache instead?
(define (script-fu-selection-to-layer inImage inLayer)
(let*
(
(isgroup (car (gimp-item-is-group inLayer)))
(parent (car (gimp-item-get-parent inLayer)))
(layername (car (gimp-item-get-name inLayer)))
(position (car (gimp-image-get-item-position inImage inLayer)))
(newlayer 0)
)
(if (= isgroup 0)
(begin
(gimp-image-undo-group-start inImage)
(gimp-edit-copy inLayer)
(set! newlayer (car (gimp-edit-paste inLayer 1)))
(gimp-floating-sel-to-layer newlayer)
(gimp-item-set-name newlayer (string-append "insert-" layername))
(gimp-image-reorder-item inImage newlayer parent position)
(gimp-selection-none inImage)
(gimp-image-undo-group-end inImage)
)
(begin
(gimp-message "not usable on layergroups")
)
)
)
)
Just remove the (gimp-edit-copy inLayer)
line and it should paste whatever is in the clipboard.
