copy text layer across images

Hi all,

I want to copy a text layer across different images opened in Gimp. However, when I paste a text layer in another image, Gimp transforms the text layer into a rasterized layer; resulting in that the text is not editable anymore. Does anyone know how to preserve text layers across images?

cheers,
Bram

Does anyone know how to preserve text layers across images? I use Gimp 2.2.13.

When copied through the clipboard, the text layer information ist lost, as you noticed. You can work around this by dragging the text layer from the layers dialog to the target image.

That's good to know, now, isn't it!

image, Gimp transforms the text layer into a rasterized

I find this also can occur unwantingly when editing a single image ... wish I knew the cause.
