My vacation. I work in retail, so my job is very stressful and anxiety-inducing.
My vacation technically started a couple hours ago when I clocked out, but it starts in earnest tomorrow when I wake up. :3

You’re welcome - I hope you have a good time with it!
I appreciate that. Thank you.
If you have pasted an image but not yet made any selections on it then I would have thought that there is no selection to crop to yet.
Only if you press ctrl-v while having no canvas open. But, if you have a canvas open already, and the canvas is bigger than the image is, you'd want to crop to selection which would get rid of all the extra canvas around the actual image.
Although, looking back at Edit 1, yeah I should've been more specific. That's on me. Apologies, I have rephrased. :)
Edit 1:
Also, I realize I got a little heated with Edit 1 & 2. I do apologize if I came across as rude. Again, I have very little but respect for the people who work on this, and believe in the project. Unfortunately, it does have quite a ways to go; but hopefully with the work that has been with the 3.0 backend overhaul those other things can come sooner than what has come before. :)
Jesus, 12+ hours a day... That is not healthy.
I hope he's doing okay...
Wow, fuck that other person. I can't believe someone could be so heartless as to not only root for someone to kill themselves, but to vocally express a desire to watch it happen.
Oof.
Yep, they're a goner.
Rip the homey.

Yeah, people doing that is my fault.
My bad.
I appreciate your insights in the matter, and with 3.0 here I may have to give GIMP another try!
I heard 3.0 came out today but I haven't quite gotten around to trying it out. (I just got home recently, so...) I think I'll go do that now! :)
Edit:
Sigh... Yeah it definitely still needs improvements.
If I copy/paste an image onto a blank canvas (where the canvas is bigger than the pasted image), then press Shift-Ctrl-X to crop to selection; it doesn't work.
So I look it up and find that the Crop to Selection option is located under the Image tab. Okay, so I click Image and go to click Crop to Selection. It's greyed out.
I go to find out why, and according to the Documentation, it is greyed out if "there is no selection for the image".
The Crop to Selection command crops only the active layer to the boundary of the selection by removing any strips at the edge whose contents are all completely unselected. Areas which are partially selected (for example, by feathering) are not cropped. If there is no selection for the image, the menu entry is insensitive and grayed out.
Why it doesn't automatically treat copy/pasted layers as selections is beyond me. Most other paint software (even MS Paint!) does this. It's basic design nowadays.
Just why? Why does GIMP have to hurt me like this? T_T
Edit 2:
And it needs to have Lanczos interpolation available for resizing. At present, it only has Linear, Cubic, NoHalo, and LoHalo, whatever the hell those last two are as I've never heard of them before.
Yeah, I'm still salty that Google and most other search engines have cut out some of the boolean operators over the last decade or so.
.........Touché.
Oh that.
Yeaaaah that gets kind of annoying I imagine...
That is definitely a helpful alternative. Thank you. :)
On a side-note, one rather annoying thing I noticed back in the 2.x days was the inability to set
[TAB]as part of a keyboard shortcut (ideally, for switching image tabs). According to this SE thread, it's because of the inherent limitations of GTK2—the[TAB]key is "reserved for the GTK library". However, the thread also said (second comment) thatAre you aware if things are indeed any better now that GIMP uses GTK3? Because unless I'm doing it wrong, it still doesn't seem to let me select the
[TAB]key in the Keyboard Shortcuts window.
