Hello

How can i select multiple layers at once?
For example when i want to delete 10 layers at once.

Where can i see what my selection size is?
It tells nowhere what the selection size is after releasing mousebutton.

Hi

You can currently only select on layer at a time.

The size of the selection can easily be seen in Windows -> Dockable
Dialogs -> Pointer, but you need GIMP SVN trunk for that (i.e. it will
be in GIMP 2.8). The enhancement request was:
Bug 138101 – Pointer (Information) tab should display selection bounds
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138101

BR,
Martin

About the only support for "selecting of multiple layers" is to
chainlink them, and this only helps you operate on them as a group for
the transformation tools (move, rotate, scale, etc).

The easiest work-around is to hide all of the layers you want to keep,
merge the visible layers, then delete the resulting merged layer (and
unhide the retained layers).

Again, not directly possible in current GIMP (expect it in the next
version). A kludgy work-around is to float the selection and open the
scale layer dialog -- the dimensions of the selection will be the
layer bounds. CANCEL the dialog and perform an UNDO to return to your
original image.

Hi

I hope deleting multiple layers at once is added also. Sometimes i have tens
of layers i need to work on, and it would help alot.

For example:

While pressing shift, you can select multiple layers. Then by pressing delete
they would be deleted.

Thank You
Poppe
