I was thinking of the 'New Layer' dialog where the 'fill' option tends to get in the way. (If i leave that option to a fixed value -- like a prefs item -- there's no problem, i can just hit enter to create the new layer. If i, however, do change this value, i'd better remember this the next time i create a new layer.) > The more options we can get rid of, the better. yep, that's what i was after regards, peter _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
