[Gimp-user] 2 questions about layers and selection

[poppe]

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
