Hi, What's the link to submit gimp enhancement requests? Maybe these are already possible but here's what I'd love to see:
* Ability to switch active layer via most tools . When working with dozens and dozens of layers it quickly gets difficult to be able to switch layers only through the layer window. Much needed is a way to switch layers from the tools, like an alternate function on the move tool so that if you click a pixel that pixel's layer becomes active. Thanks!!!!
* Ability to pick colors from inactive layers. Currently, colors can only be picked from the active layer. I want the ability to get the color of whatever pixel the mouse clicked over, without having to be on the same layer. Thanks!!!!
* I need a subtle visual cue to alert me when something is selected. I usually work with "View Current Selection" off - because it's distracting. A subtle message like on the status bar or something would be awesome. Thanks!
Again, maybe a new version of GIMP has these functions (I'm on 2.8.2).
Sincerely,
Phil
