### 4.3. Buttons

The buttons at the bottom of the Paths dialog all correspond to entries in the Paths menu (accessed by right-clicking on a path list entry), but some of them have extra options obtainable by holding down modifier keys while you press the button.

New Path

  See New Path. Holding down the Shift key brings up a dialog that allows you to assign a name to the new (empty) path.

Raise Path

  See Raise Path.

Lower Path

  See Lower Path.

Duplicate Path

  See Duplicate Path.

Path to Selection

  Converts the path into a selection; see Path to Selection for a full explanation. You can use modifier keys to set the way the new selection interacts with the existing selection:

  Modifiers | Action
  --- | ---
  None | Replace existing selection
  Shift | Add to selection
  Ctrl | Subtract from selection
  Shift-Ctrl | Intersect with selection.

Selection to Path

  Holding down the Shift key brings up the Advanced Options dialog, which probably is only useful to GIMP developers. See Selection to Path.

Stroke Path

  See Stroke Path.

Delete Path

  Delete Path deletes the current selected path.
