Auto scrolling to layer when selecting an item is awesome.
But its still a bit of a headache to map my way around a clutter of uncollapsed layers. (which become expanded very fast!)
Would it be possible to automatically close artboard/general groups in the layers panel when selecting an item outside of its group? For instance:
Mobile (artboard)
Hero Fullscreen
Roundels
Side by side
Desktop (artboard)
Hero Fullscreen
Roundels
Side by side
Example 1: If Im currently editing the Mobile Roundels group layers, then proceed to select a curve or item inside the Desktop Roundels layer group, I would expect the Mobile Roundels artboard layer group to auto collapse
Example 2: If Im currently editing the Mobile Roundels group layers, then proceed to select a curve or item inside the Mobile Side by side layer group, I would expect the Mobile Roundels layer group to auto collapse
Or, even a collapse all layers button!
It would be very nice if you could collapse all layers at once in the layers panel. Layers become very difficult to work with when you have many of them since selecting objects expands the parent layer, so you have to scroll back up and manually collapse them yourself.
Perhaps you could have it so that layers are only expanded for as long as the item within it is selected? That way, after deselecting an object, the layer expansion goes back to its previous state, which is ether expanded or collapsed. Am I making any sense?
