Seeking Gimp 3 version of Layer via Copy/Cut? - Dizzy-noodles - 10-20-2025
Hello everyone, I have used GIMP for a few years to make content for my Sims 2 game.
I had the plugin 'Layer via Copy/Cut' by Slybug and was very happy with it, on GIMP 2.8.
However, now I have GiIMP 3.0, and apparently cannot use the same plugin.
Does anyone know if there is an equivalent for GIMP 3.0 please?

The old Gimp 2.8 / 2.10 scripts and plugins do not work in Gimp 3.0 and not so easy to rewrite. Gimp 3 is still relatively new so useful plugins might get converted, but do not hold your breath.
Just a suggestion, In Edit -> Paste As There is Paste-As-Single-Layer-In-Place which does not have a shortcut assigned.
You can assign a shortcut such as Windows-key+V then in place of the plugin two key presses
ctrl-c win-V for copy paste
ctrl-x win-V for cut paste

It will be nice when Gimp gets a macro feature, I think round about Gimp 5.0 is planned.
