Operating system(s):
Hi rich, I've been using the appimages a bit and noticed there is no ability to link layers or make layer groups. I don't know if they intend to implement this again or if it will be replaced by something else.
Also 'create a new image' above an existing image and then expanding it covers-up the tools and layers/brushes boxes. This seems very buggy to me.
If CmykStudent is reading this maybe he knows?

Gimp version: 3.0
rich2005: Hi! I don't think the plan is to "drop" multi-window mode so much as it is to combine the best of both single window and multi-window mode so there's no split. A lot of the issues with MWM in 3.0 are likely because most of the developers use Single Window Mode, so we didn't notice the problems (that's why user testing is so important for 3.0). I'll see if I can replicate what you showed in the video and fix if I can - thanks for the report!
And yes, currently only GEGL filters with GUIs are non-destructive. That covers most of them, but not all. Hopefully more filters can be converted to GEGL (or at least have a GEGL version while leaving legacy in place).
Glad to hear the "official" AppImage is working well - Bruno Lopes worked hard on it! Hopefully it can become a regular download like Flatpak in the future.
