We already have resize image or trim image to selection. it would be great if we had resize canvas to selection or an option in crop tool to just resize canvas without deleting the pixels. This would allow to make compositions and resize canvas interactively without deleting the pixel data in layers and groups. Trimming image and cropping is destructive and this would add some convenience in resize canvas which is now a bit non-interactive. thank you
I second this. It sucks when you crop for composition then you realize you want to make it bigger again later, but all cropped data is lost.
Here is a confirmed bug that is proposing just the same thing (and already on wishlist): bug #393113 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 393113 ***
