Correct. When there is a problem with your workflow, revert to the simplest possible solution until it is sorted.
Quote:It would be so straightforward to just have an "Include" checkbox on each layer *within* the export options window - defaulted to True for what is visible. Then I can have one Gimp project file, and from that project, I can directly generate an .ico file with whatever layers I so choose - during export -without creating additional files that I then have to save/manage.
Well, it is generally, what you describe is a Gimp template, but since we do not know the constituents of your icon file. Very probably a layer mode is screwing things up, so you get a "deal-with-unknowns" type answer.
The drag into tool box for a new image, is just that. Gimp is good at click-drag-drop for many functions. Make a new temporary image, export it, delete it.
This example, using a script from here: https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Iconif...5#pid26485 256x256 canvas to make a multilayer icon. Then a check in an image viewer.
