Correct

That is unfortunate... The document that brought up this issue for me has almost all of its 265 layers named and grouped accordingly, but not by me, so I have no idea what is what.
What frustrates me further is that back when I used Photoshop, the thumbnails were all layer sized, and I could see at a glance what was a black line and what was a purple duck, etc. etc... But now that I'm on Linux, and trying to adhere to a strict free and opensource diet, that's no longer an option.
I guess for now I'll just take the time to go through layer by layer toggling visibility to find out what's what, all the while complaining and praying that the people of Gimp hear my cries
Thanks for all the help so far! If anyone finds a way to hack together a solution, please let me know!
