    Thank you! I hope so much for a solution to the existing problems. I have also read the other tickets with the selection tool problems. It is for me one of the most important tools and should definitely work. If basic problems in the existing apps designer and photo are not fixed the users lose confidence in these apps. I have tried in this post to give the support everything to reproduce the problem on the basis of my AD file and to make the error description as clear as possible, so I hope for a quick solution .... please AD developer team

    I have recreated the problem again in a simple file with fewer layers and groups and subgroups and the Move tool works with the rectangle selection as it should. Apparently, the problem really only occurs with more complex layer structures. For me this is clearly a bug . 6ECCBC56-8989-4D09-8459-77D22484FC30.MP4

    Hi DM1, Thank you so much for taking the time. I see exactly this problem as well. There is no reasonable selection possible across groups. As soon as I now have to break up all the groups that have been created with great effort to make only a tiny adjustment to the eye, it really takes a lot of time. Afterwards I have to try again to restore all these resolved groups e.g. for a video animation of the drawing. This is not effective for my work. In addition I have the problem that the rectangular selection is not recognized again and again and instead one of the groups is marked as Tap and thus constantly shifts arise. I very much hope that the Affinity Team can solve this problem. It must be possible to select individual areas or layers across groups with the selection tool.

    Here is an impression of what such a drawing looks like for me and why it would be too complicated to group every small element. Normally I separate the outlines, the color and the shades into single groups, so that with customized changes regarding the colors or the strength of the shades only within single main groups must be corrected. If I now have to group every single small element (eye, ear, nose, mouth etc.) in the respective main groups outline, color, shading again, no customer can pay this 'time expenditure'. The description of the functionality of the selection tool also contradicts this way of working. With this tool it should be possible for me to select every element which comes into contact with the selection frame. For me and my job this bug is really frustrating at the moment and a showstopper for further use in Visual Facilitation and Graphic Recording.

    Thank you DM1, That's exactly how I work, but as soon as I use groups the Move Tool selection doesn't work anymore. But I can't possibly put every ear, every eye, every finger and additionally the coloring for eyes, ears etc. as well as the shades into the small groupings so that I can select them later. I expect to be able to use the Move tool to select individual layers across groups using rectangles and then transform and move them. Sandra

    Hi, The problem again as video. At the first try I can draw a rectangle, but NO layer is selected (independent of the settings in the lower menu). From the next attempt on, the content will simply be moved. I see two problems: - the selection of layers by rectangle does not work - a rectangular selection with the Move Tool is very rarely or never possible for complex files Enclosed again a video 34B2DB08-9E8A-4DAC-880A-03093F64FADF.MP4

    Hi, When editing my vector drawing I would like to use the selection tool to select, transform and move the complete eye including outlines and shadows. The tool only allows to draw a rectangle at 1 of 5 attempts (at the faulty attempts always a whole grouping is moved). As soon as I manage to draw a rectangle, not a single layer is marked, although the settings are set in the global settings (see screenshot). The selector "edit all layers" in Layers Studio is also on. I also tried, after selecting the main group, to reach the other objects and groups by double-tapping, but even in this attempt it was not possible for me to combine all the blacks and gray lines of the eye in one selection. I attach my complex AD file to you. How can I quickly select the eye including shades? This problem costs me a lot of time as I have to search for layers in hundreds of layers as a workaround. Instead of making a change in a minute, it takes a lot of effort. The app is really very good, but the Move tool is currently a showstopper when using it. Best regards Sandra Unbenannt_4.afdesign
