Description X-Raym 2018-04-12 09:41:41 UTC 
Hi,

I don't know if it is a bug or not, but I'm trying to get top left x and y layer position with Scripter but I only get 0 0, even if I simply have a shape in the middle of a transparent layer (small than the canvas size).

You can find a code snippet there: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=139&t=151787

Thanks for taking a look !

I am not sure exactly what that property is supposed to be returning, but it is not very obvious. 

When I run your script from the forum I get values returned that are not 0, but I can't tell what it is getting back. The node position might be getting a value that is outside the image region. Sometimes when I resize with the crop tool and run that command I get negative numbers.

This returns the position of the layer: that is the offset in the image stack, not the topleft of the bounds around the visible pixels. The position only changes if you move the layer.

I've clarified the apidox.

@Boudewijn Rempt
Thanks !

But then, how to get "the topleft of the bounds around the visible pixels." ?
