Pasting a layer group with an un-merged filter. - teapot - 11-28-2025
Using gimp 3.0.4 I'm normally finding it OK to copy and paste a layer group with Edit -> Paste or Edit -> Paste In Place but if one of the layers has an un-merged filter the paste places the layers as individuals losing the layer group. Anyone else seeing this?

I tried on 3.06 and I don't have this problem.
You might try to duplicate the layer group instead of copy-pasting (I usually do it like that). If that doesn't work, just upgrade.

Thanks Scallact,
Looks like the un-merged filter part was a red herring I'm getting it intermittently with and without the filter.
Duplicate the layer group is fine, that's my usual too, but sometimes a copy and paste is wanted.
Good to know it's OK in 3.06 thanks for testing it.
