Thanks for the quick reply and sorry for me replying so late.
So if i choose a new layer, draw something ( a circle and a square), open a new layer, draw something (a triangle) and than decide I want to change the circle. As far as I understand it now the only way to do that is to delete the first layer, open a new one and draw it again, with the circle changed accordingly my new wishes.
To prevent situations like this would imply that I set up a new layer for every line (being a circle or square in my example) I want to draw. In the case of more complicated drawings it would lead to an enormous amount of layers.
Yes, and that's not a problem. Gimp is designed to work that way. Having one layer per object allows you to reposition them easily, change the way they overlap, change the color of some without changing the others, etc. You can use "layer groups" to keep/change together related layers.
