Print Layer Settings?

[Howitser]

Is there a way to print layer(s) settings in 2.10?  I've got some layers with different opacity settings for either the layer or brush, and if I switch to another layer/create a new layer when I return to a prior layer, the settings aren't recalled.  That, or is there a way to make sure GIMP can recall the settings I had set up for the layer?

Thanks!

Opacity settings for a layer don't change when you switch to another layer. If you can demonstrate otherwise, this is a good case for a bug report.

On the other hand, the opacity of a paint tool is  global to the Gimp instance, so if you change its opacity to work on another layer (or even in another image) you won't have the initial setting when you return to your initial layer.

Possible ways around this:

1. Save the tool settings with a name (see the diskette/document/trashbin icons at the bottom of the tool options dialog) to be able to restore it later
   
2. Use paint layers, making a layer group with the paint layer(s) and the target layer.
