GIMP 2.8 Python Plug-in.
Copy and move the selected area to a new layer in the same position.

This function is similar to the functions with the same names in Photoshop, and more powerful. Unlike them, it can copy/cut content, not just from one layer, but also from the layer groups. In Photoshop, this is not possible :)

---------------------------------
How to download:
Print-screen: [link]
---------------------------------

Installation Instructions:

1. Close GIMP if it is open.
2. Extract "layer-via-copy-cut.py" from zip archive to the ".../.gimp-2.x/plug-ins" directory.
3. Run GIMP. The script should appear under the menu: "Layer > Layer via Copy" and "Layer > Layer via Cut". Don't forget to make the plugin executable.

This plug-in requires Python!
If you have the "Filters > Python-Fu > Console" menu item you are all set. If not, install Python support for GIMP.

Tested with GIMP 2.8.
I hope this plug-in will be useful for someone else.

Version History:
v1.5 (04.06.2012)
- Added automatic cache cleanup.
- Fixed bug with non-rectangular selection.
v1.4 (04.06.2012)
- The new layer/group is created above the original, and not at the top of the stack.
- Some code improvements.
v1.3 (01.06.2012)
- Initial release.

My other plugins:

Create Layer Mask from...
Duplicate to another Image
Scale Layer to Image Size

Dmitry,

Thank you. I am looking forward to trying this plugin.

I even had a hard time finding the link after you pointed it out. I thought the column on the right was advertising so I kept skimming over it and was afraid to click on the download button because it looks like a generic "Spam" button. I am a new user and don't know my way yet.

Consider rewording the link from "Download File" to "Download - Layer Via Copy/Cut" or "Download This Plugin" to help clarify.

Thanks again for taking the time to help me out I really appreciate it.

Do svidaniya!

Terry
