Description
GIMP 2.8 Python Plugin.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
I hope this plug-in will be useful for someone else.
Installation Instructions:
1. Extract "layer-via-copy-cut.py" from .zip archive to the ".../.gimp-2.x/plug-ins/" directory.
2. Make sure that the extracted file is executable.
3. If you are already running GIMP, close and reopen it.
This plugin requires Python!
If you have the "Filters > Python-Fu > Console" menu item you are all set. If not, install Python support for GIMP.

How did you get GIMP 2.8?
I've been trying to get it all day. I have 2.6, so I tried to update it with a command I found online. But I'm not completely sure where I'm supposed to put it, and no matter what I do, it still isn't updated to 2.8 ;_;
