It seems you have to create some *other* file and then use THAT to create the .ico file. Strange, and inconvenient - especially considering that when I used .tiff - it THEN let me choose the layers to export. Why not just provide that right from the Gimp file? I admit I'm new, but wow - this seems difficult, inconvenient, non-intuitive, and confusing. Thank you for your advice - it has led me to a working process - but good grief - this seems circuitous! Thanks again!
I just noticed that with a multi layered gif file, I can turn visibility off for a layer, and then export the file and have only the visible layers shown in the exported image.
But, I've never done it that way. I'm kind of a knuckledragger in that regard, I'm more than willing to invest a couple extra mouse clicks to force an application to heed to my wishes.
So, I guess what you consider to be "difficult, inconvenient, and confusing"...I find to be "reassuring"?
Eliminate ALL potential outcomes other than the one I desire.
Hope all works out to your satisfaction.
