does gimp have this function?

hi, all.

someone asked me, "in photoshop, if I copy some area like as 400*200 and make a new image,
then the image size will be 400*200. however gimp doesn't recognize the size of content on clipboard.
of course I can use similar function via the menu edit > paste > new image. but it's not convenient."

so I tell him, "use the dynamic keyboard shortcut." but I wonder. gimp doesn't have the function, or just couldn't find?

Greetings.

In 2.4

File->keyboard shortcuts or File->preferences->Interface->Configure keyboard shortcuts

Then set paste as new to what you want as a shortcut

I have set 'Y' as paste as new, so all I do is Ctrl+C Y

In 2.2 I did Ctrl+C Ctrl+N Alt+O Ctrl+V Ctrl+H, so 2.4 is *much* better

Hi, Owen
I know that. but I wonder the default function exist or not. for example, there is some option for that in the preference..

Hi there, to make it more understandable:

Is this what you want?

- if there is a 122x344 sized section in clipboard - then file::new should offer exactly that dimension (122x344) as new size - additional to such default sizes like DIN A4 or letter or 600x800 and so on?

Regards Ralf

yes. that's the exactly what I want. I can use that by using some menu or key hotkey. But I have a little curiosity.

This feature used to be included in GIMP. It was removed because many people were confused by it.

really?
IMHO, it's not a good feature. since the clipboard data is a just content, not a frame. but "a new image" is a frame. so both are different. by the way thanks everyone. :)

The main reason for changing this was that there is no portable way to find out about the size of the image in the clipboard. In earlier versions of GIMP the clipboard used to be completely internal. You could only paste what you had before copied in GIMP. In that situation we knew exactly what's in the clipboard and we could offer that size in the "New Image" dialog. Nowadays you can copy images from lots of other applications and paste them into GIMP. But there's no reasonable way (at least not on X11) to find out how large the image in the clipboard is. So we can't reliably offer that size in the "New Image" dialog any longer.
