Wow, that does EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you so much! Do you know if there's an easy way to modify the script so that it could create a copy of the selection rather than cutting it? Then I could have one script for copying and one for cutting. Thanks again; this was a huge help! -- Brian (via www.gimpusers.com) _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
