The reason i wanted to know was because a fellow on the gimp registry forums was asking how to manipulate multi selections to color them all at once on separate layers.I think this may be what they meant.
Mahvin i am talking about many selections on separate layers (time consuming)
I wanted to be able to make one selection on one layer using the color tool or another selection tool.
Copy that selection to all visible layers - then do what ever i want to each layer all at once.
Like say color them all red, or fill with the same gradient or pattern.Or turn them all into paths.Or even masks.
This would have many, many uses i think.Quick color fill for animation frames for 1?
Pretty sure Saulgoodes script does what i need though.Looks like it takes the selection, copies it to floating layers and then merges back into those layers.
PC what do you mean by the selection already is in all layers of the image?
If i create a selection in one layer and fill it yes i can select another layer and fill it select another fill it.
I want to be able to fill one selection and have all of them fill at once.
Hope you understand what i mean now.
