Actually, my suggestion was that the command be registered in the "Paste" subgroup of the Edit Menu (not the "Paste As" submenu).

This is an as yet undocumented (or at least not-well-documented) feature of 'plug-in-menu-register' (I am currently in the process of creating some documentation for it) which affords greater control of where third-party commands get placed in the menu structure.

ooooooh! I had missed that subtlety in your comment at the GPR (not realizing that such a thing could be done...) That's just brilliant! How on earth did you figure that one out?

Pretty much from following the developers' GIT log (I haven't seen documentation on it yet).

I am about halfway through documenting this feature, but if you check the menus/image-menu.xml.in for lines that mention "placeholder", you will be off to a good start of finding all of the menu "subgroups".

The information also appears to be contained in the file
C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\share\gimp\2.0\menus\image-menu.xml
(windows directory structure)

That directory contains XML files for all of the GIMP menu structures.

Great tip Saulgoode : finally know how to fix the position of a couple of misplaced script

This is actually a pretty nice script.Even enlarging in larger scale works nicely.Hardly any deformation of the larger scaled layer at all.
