[Gimp-user] Can a New Layer be positioned during the Paste, or does it require a Move

[DJ]

Hi bgw, GimpUsers,

b> Not quite - "paste as new layer" creates a new layer with the selection
b> in the upper left corner.  "Paste" places it exactly on top, as Sven
b> noted, and then "Layer->New Layer" will transform the floating layer 
b> into a new layer properly located.

Ah, that did the trick.

The two methods produce different results then:
 1a. Edit / Paste As / New Layer
 1b. Edit / Paste; Layers / New Layer

Is there any other use for the "Floating Selection", other than
turning it into a "New Layer"?

Thank you.
