Add ability to parent layers

[genestrashcan]

add the ability to set the parent layer of another layer in an animation.

I have two duplicate layers in one of my animations and they need to move exactly the same position, distance, etc. this could be done if layers could be parented to one another.

So you wish for the child layer to follow all movements of the parent layer? If so that can be done, I'm unsure however as to why you would need to do such a thing in the same position, wherein I can understand relative movement copying (copying movement in a different position), so I would love to see the project if that's possible!

In gimp, the following image has two separate layers for the snake which are the back and front, and both layers have been cropped seamlessly in gimp. The layer of the girl is set in between them. I would like to be able to parent the two separate snake layers in anime effects to create an animation using rotation, position, scale, and FFD of the snake massaging the girl with its coils. With the ability to parent the layers and have them act as one layer, it would make it so the two layers would seamlessly appear to make the snake look like it is flexing its coils and muscles to massage the girl.
