    <p>Concerning your second suggestion (merging selected layers into
      one new layer), that is currently possible. Create a new layer
      (say gamma), make sure it is the active layer by left clicking it
      and then right click another layer (say alpha). You will see the
      option "merge into gamma". You can repeat this for all the layers
      you want to merge into the new layer.</p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p>However this will delete the old layers and move all their
      objects into the new one, so it is no solution to copying.</p>
    <p><br>

                Hi there.<br>
                <br>
                Is there a way to duplicate a layer?<br>
                <br>
                I can't find a menu voice for this.<br>
                <br>
                If not, it could be a good feature to add: at present I
                am having a bit <br>
                of pain because I need it and I can't find a viable
                workaround.<br>
                <br>
                Even better, IMHO it would be nice to have a feature
                which create a new <br>
                layer merging together selected layers.<br>
                <br>
                Cheers<br>
                <br>
