How to select multiple layers?

[aeacides]

Hi guys!

I'm one of those who moved from photoshop (windows) to Gimp (Linux), and I really enjoyed it!  Since everything's alright, I got a basic problem that I couldn't solve ...

How do you select multiple layers (shift + click on layers in photoshop)? I tought it was a must, but the only way I found to do this in Gimp was to click on the little chain beside each layers ( ).

Is there any solution/script ? Probably there's another shortcut ...

Sorry if that question has been asked before [...] but I went in Gimp's doc and didn't find any answer.

Thanks a lot!

I'm afraid not =( The only thing you can do is link layers together, as you have already seen.

And welcome to the forum.

Thanks a lot :- )

Ok I see .. well, can we script it in Python? Or you can't alter the layer system with Python script? ...



Thanks again for your fast reply

What would the point of selecting multiple layers be? Does it apply what you do to each layer?

HEY! >:( It's got several use, but I can't think of any right now.

if you got two separate text layers that is suposed to be 5px apart, then you lock both chains and move em both
i did it in my latest bumblebee sig

What about moving multiple layers up and down the layer order?
Can you do this?

[David Wood]

No.
