Search in layers - mrkid - 09-29-2025
Hi. Im working in the background of a book cover. Im using intensively layers and groups to keep all the elements in order. Very nice! I named groups, and some key elements. As number of elements increase i wonder if there is some way to search them by name. AFAIK there is no that feature, but maybe i´m wrong, and you can give me some info about this.

Not something I am really familiar with.
For Gimp 3.0.4 Top of the layers dock. You might have to widen the dock for it to show. A search icon
Click on that for an entry box, it will find a layer group name or an individual layer name. Looks like it is not case sensitive and finds a partial name as well.
Edit: Finally found the docs page: https://docs.gimp.org/3.0/en/gimp-dialogs-structure.html look for the paragraph Search layers and Saved searches
