Gap is more geared towards "Frames" then "Layers" animation
Meaning that your input image may be a layer but a layer of a frame ("Frames"
are images, but name with a progressive number..as 00001-image.xcf a frame
may have only 1 or more layer )
Its a quite important point if you don't want work with frames but only with
single image with many layers may be better found some alternative to GAP
As example this script
http://www.gimptalk.com/forum/-script-fu-move-layers-similar-to-gap%CA%B9s-move-path--t46740.html
and the other of same author you will found in the first page of that board
About the advantage of Frames anymationVS layer animation is simple:
a complex animation may require a lot of layer to be smooth
And a image with some hundreds of layer may easily become too big, as file size
, may become impossible save or open it without crashes
Working with frames if your computer has sufficient memory to process the
first, then will be able to process also the others (since once created they
are automatically saved and loaded only when needed ..they don't need to be
all loaded simultaneously
But in case of layers of same image is the contrary, you may not load only a
couple of layer but only all the image
