In Gimp, what is the easiest (fewest clicks/keyboard shortcut/setting change) way to find the dimensions of a given layer in a PSD file?

Is

"Layers window"→<right click>→"Scale layer"

the only way?

Could the "Move tool" provide this info, or is there a setting that enables the display of this information by default?

  • Scale layer is the only way I am aware of. Which operating system are you using?

    Good question! Something like the Photoshop info panel would be helpful (although I find even that to be unintuitive sometimes).

    I use Layer > Layer Boundary Size.

this plugin may be useful, it states that it shows a floating window with the active layer's dimensions: http://registry.gimp.org/node/26317
