I don't see a "repeat command". I see a "Filters>Repeat last" which as its location implies repeats the last *filter* (a general "repeat" would be next to Edit/Redo).

Your attachment didn't come through, mailing list policy I presume.

I thought 'Repeat ...' was a filter only function.

Shrinking is a select function with no repeat option available

So big mystery????

I am selecting a program window screenshot (just an image). The command includes some pixels around the program window. I select all the image and shrink the selection 1 bit at a time. Why the "repeat command" is grayed out? I have to repeat the command every time selecting it in the menu. Is there a reason for this behaviour?

I know a joke about UDP, but you might not get it.

Sorry, I was extrapolating from a nationalized run. The command is:

Edit->Redo (grayed out) and, to aswer Owen too, since Filters>Repeat last works with filters and Select->shrink is not a filter, it is grayed out too.

I am using gimp-2.9, pulled Mon Mar 9 2015.

Presumably is a feature that I do not understand... sorry for the noise.

"Redo" is used to replay what you just removed with "Undo", in other words it "undoes the undo", so it is enabled only if you just did an undo.

Hi Marco -

What I like to do in cases like this is to enable preferences->inbterface->Dynamic Keyboard shortcuts , (actually I keep this always on), and assign a temporary shortcut to the action at hand (in this case, shrink selection). ot having the overhead of going through the "keyboard shortcut efitor" for doing things like this really makes a difference. Try it.

Oh my... thanks for clarifying me this very silly question!

Very sorry for the noise!
