When I work in GIMP I often need to do something with several layers at a time; duplicate 5 layers at the same time, or delete a couple layers at a time.

At the moment, it is not possible to select multiple layers which causes me to do these actions to all of the layers separately. It would make my work easier, and more efficient if several layers can be selected simultaneously with the help of the Control or Shift buttons.

in photoshop cs you have very usable and user friendly plugin for making HDR

i tried to make HDR on kubuntu, i tried to install cinepaint (with bad luck), but i would like to have it inside my favourite graphical tool

I think it would be useful if nautilus could show preview of gimp's xcf files in thumbnails like it does with jpeg and png files
