Resolution and bit depth is shared between all layers and masks #1005

  1. Create two or more layers
  2. Change the bit depth and/or resolution of any layer
  3. It is changed for all layers.

I'm again unsure whether this is by design or not. If it is it is - at least for me - confusing, because the option is in the context menu of layers/masks.

I found this issue while experimenting what is the resolution of a layer group. Currently this is no question but suppose the option would not be shared anymore then it could be the maximum of all layers in the group or something like that.

Maybe we should leave it as it is and make it clear to the user that this is shared for all layers and not layer specific? I think it is also easy to destroy the whole project by moving the slider to the left because everything becomes pixelated with no way back. Maybe a project settings dialog or a project panel would make sense that contains all these project specific settings.
