If an image is pasted it is placed coincident to the image copied so that in practice it does not appear. Could there be a way of indicating on the canvas (not just the layers panel) that it now exists?

What kind of indication would you like to see?

(I'm assuming that you would like an option for this rather than it happening for everyone all the time.)

Perhaps blinking on and off while a key combination is pressed while one image is selected. The signal could show how many copies were coinciding exactly with each other. Or is there a setting allowing the image to be pasted elsewhere initially, such as at the cursor?

I don’t think I would be alone in not wanting parts of the UI or document flashing/blinking at me – that sort of thing can be distracting and makes me think that something is wrong.

However, I would not be averse to having some kind of temporary ‘marker’ showing me that the currently selected layer has just been pasted. (Sometimes it might be good to know when I have pasted something by mistake.)

Maybe giving the pasted layer an extra ‘boundary box’ slightly outside its boundary box, maybe a thin-stroked red-dashed box around the layer or something like that, which disappears when I click the mouse or do other things.

The specific (user-defined) placement of pasted objects has been mentioned elsewhere in the forums so maybe this suggestion could be ‘rolled-up’ into that in some way.
