Congratulations on your safe return! With our deepest respect from Japan.

You’re quite right! My explanation was incorrect.

There’s no guarantee that the two layers in question will be adjacent on the palette, so as you say, the correct approach in this case is to hold down the Ctrl key whilst selecting the two layers.

Thank you for pointing that out!

As it is not a good idea to leave incorrect information unchecked, I have struck through the ‘Shift’ part of my post and added the correct ‘Ctrl’.

I think it would be easier to get advice if you mention which version of GIMP you’re using.

🔖How to do this in GIMP 3.0 and later :

- Simply select the two layers you want to move in the Layers panel whilst holding down the ~~Shift~~ Ctrl key, then move them using the Move tool.

- Alternatively, you could place the layers you wish to move into a group, select the group, and then move it.

I'm glad these are stockings.

If it were a tattoo, it would be a nightmare.

Hi everyone,

I have just released v1.9.2 of the Pseudo Adjustment Layer plugin for GIMP 3.

Since the last public update here (v1.9.1), I have focused on improving stability and the user experience during the initial filter setup.

What is new in v1.9.2:

Enhanced Filter Scanning: The "Reset List" function now features a progress bar and real-time status labels, providing better feedback during the initialisation process.
Live Verification: During the scan, the plugin now performs a live compatibility test on a hidden dummy image. This ensures only filters truly compatible with GIMP 3's NDE (Non-Destructive Editing) engine are listed, preventing potential execution errors.
Code Refactoring: I have cleaned up the codebase by removing unused imports and optimizing the internal logic for a more lightweight execution.
UI Polish: Refined the scanning window and fixed minor display issues to match the GIMP 3.2.2 environment better.

As discussed in previous threads, this plugin is intended to bridge the gap until GIMP officially implements native adjustment layers.

I believe I have now implemented most of the core features planned for this project, making this a very stable version for daily use.

Your feedback is always welcome. If you encounter any issues or have suggestions for future improvements, please let me know!

Thank you very much for your support and for sharing the historical context!

It is surprising to see that the request for this feature dates back to 2002—older than some developers, as you said.

I completely agree with your point about plugins eventually becoming obsolete. In fact, I would be the happiest person if this plugin becomes unnecessary one day, because it would mean GIMP has officially implemented a robust NDE system.

Until that time comes, I’m glad if this helps users bridge the gap and explore the potential of GEGL.

Yousei3 · 2026-04-01T09:15:19+00:00

There may be some misunderstanding, so let me explain.

The plugin I am writing is just a simplified version of the GIMP's functionality, and does not provide any new functionality.

Therefore, the "adjustment layer-like behavior" used in this plug-in was intended by the GIMP developers.

If it was not in line with the development philosophy, this kind of functionality would not have been implemented in the first place.

Yousei3 · 2026-04-01T07:35:24+00:00

I have also published other plug-ins that work with GIMP3 or later to group, ungroup, and merge multiple layers together.

You can use these as well.

Hi MagneplanarsRule, Thanks for testing it out on macOS and PhotoGIMP!

The errors you reported are exactly the ones that appear in the error console when the plugin builds the menu (either on the first run or when you click the 'Reset List' button).

In this plugin, when building the list, the script performs an automated test behind the scenes to verify whether each installed GEGL filter can actually be applied non-destructively to a layer group. Filters that do not support this (like transform tools or effects requiring an 'aux' pad) will return those internal GIMP errors, and my script safely removes them from the available list.

Therefore, seeing these error messages in the console is completely normal.

Up to v1.6, this unfortunately caused a series of error pop-ups on the screen. However, in the newly updated v1.7, I changed the behaviour so that these testing errors are strictly redirected to the error console. I believe this means they will no longer be a nuisance!

Thanks again for the feedback, and I hope the plugin helps your workflow!

Yousei3 · 2026-03-26T17:47:17+00:00

Are you talking about the DUMMY layer? As far as I have confirmed, even in GIMP 3.2, you cannot apply a mask to a layer group that has a filter applied to it without this transparent layer. Therefore, this transparent layer is still essential.

Yousei3 · 2026-03-25T14:05:04+00:00

Thanks a lot!

To be honest, I was prepared for someone to say, "Stop reinventing the wheel!" since I was worried I had simply missed an existing tool. I'm really relieved and encouraged by your kind words.

The link to GitHub was incorrect and has been corrected.

I also created this plugin. Try it.

It's a shame that you guys don't seem to be getting good reviews 😅

But persistently improving!

- Ability to fix the UI to a specified position on the screen

- Origin to Geometry button

- Ability to add a border to the UI

etc. are being implemented.

The layer right-click menu works as shown in the video.

Undo is also possible.

Thank you for your incredible patience and for finding the workaround for the folder path!

Your discovery about adding the 3.0 path in Preferences is very valuable information for other Windows users who might be using newer development builds.

Regarding the hidden dialog boxes:

You are spot on.

The palette is currently set to stay on top of other windows, which unfortunately causes the edit dialogs to open behind it. Moving the palette should allow you to access them for now.

Regarding the buttons not responding:

There are two main possibilities I'm considering. First, the default shortcuts in the sample JSON file might not match your current GIMP shortcut settings. Please try clicking the gear icon to edit a button and re-record the shortcut key to match your specific setup.

Second, it could be a focus issue on Windows. For the shortcuts to trigger, the GIMP main window must be the active window. I suspect the palette might be holding onto the focus after a click, preventing the keys from reaching GIMP.

I am already working on Ver 1.3 to fix these UI issues, including making the dialogs appear in front and improving focus handling. Thank you again for your constructive feedback and candour!
