| Moving selections under other layers? |

Hello GIMP Forum,
I recently installed the new GIMP 2.0. One problem I've been encountering is that when you try to paste something and that selection is below a layer that is not transparent, you cannot move the selection. For example, if I'm trying to paste something and it ends up underneath a drawn block on a higher layer, I cannot move the thing I pasted at all. Is there any way to fix this?

Gimp 2.10.4 running in Ubuntu 18.4
When I change the name of a path the new name appears in a very dark colour that is almost illedgeible on my dark theme. The original font colour is fine, just the rename. Is there a way of changing this? I can't see anything in the prefs or mentioned in the config file.
Thanks

| Easy Edge Masks |

Some old resources from an earlier date, about 2008. A collection of grayscale edge masks, 120 of them, mostly rectangular but some oval. Originally on a site, graphicssoft.about.com, but now long gone.
You can get them from https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=...o7B5yKsnTV zipped about 8 MB
which also contains two scripts to ease using them sg-copy-mask-from-above.scm & sg-scale-to-selection.scm
Those come from Saul Goodes site http://chiselapp.com/user/saulgoode/repo...pt-fu/home Put both in your Gimp profile scripts folder.
Works like this:
Open your image then File -> Open as Layers one of the edge masks. They are all quite small 600 x 800 pix and in portrait mode. If your image is in landscape mode, please rotate 90 deg after importing, it helps when scaling.
Now go and scale that mask, to the canvas size using the script sg-scale-to-selection.scm No need to make a selection, just use Layer -> Scale to Selection
That gets the mask covering the original image. Now use the second script sg-copy-mask-from-above.scm Layer -> Mask -> Copy Mask from Above to add a layer mask to the original image.
The Edge mask layer, no longer needed, turn the visibility off and export as a PNG to keep the transparency.
What/where would you use such an image, always room on your blog or web page or maybe send it off to print it on a T-Shirt or a coffee cup.
