@MEB Any chance we can get a word from one of them? I believe a feature request with over 6 years and dozens of interested users should be enough to at least acknowledge if it's being considered as a potential feature or not.
-
No worries @MEB.
Any chance we're going to see any updates regarding this in the foreseeable future?

I'm not aware of any improvements regarding groups but there are still so many areas being worked, that i'm not surprised to see changes here. In any case this is a good request but only an Affinity developer can give you a definite answer.
Just give them some time, i'm sure they will step in and give you more info here.
Oh and BTW, still waiting for that additional info.

@MEB I'm sorry if I sound harsh, but after 6 years and 5 pages of users asking for the same thing, this is beyond ridiculous.
Have you ever seen or used the isolation mode in Illustrator? How is that comparable to what you're recommending here? I'm genuinely curious...
-
-
@JET_Affinity Sorry, still not following your point.
I created this thread because the isolation mode is something that is undoubtedly useful for me, and apparently to many other users as well.
Your goal is to enlighten us to the fact that feature is not essential, because Adobe only introduced it 12 years ago, and as such we should not request/discuss it?
-
@JET_Affinity And your point is? Isn't this the forum where we ask for features that we'd like to see implemented?
-
@valcoholic It's been 5 years since the first post. Don't get your hopes up!
-
I understand that the features are decided by the dev team.
What I don't understand is why after so much time we still don't know if this has been at least considered, if it's totally out of question or any other "official" stand on this feature.
For the past 3 years, you've been suggesting the same solution to anyone that asks about it, while that "solution" is really not an alternative at all.
Sorry for the rant, I know you're not the one to blame, but it's a bit annoying that this has been ignored for such a long time.

Hey @MEB, it's been almost 3 years since I created this tread and unfortunately this feature hasn't been added yet, and apparently won't be anytime soon.
Can I ask why a feature that has this many replies (and thread views) isn't considered as a common feature request? I don't see it on this list: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/10410-common-feature-requests-index/
Also, why isn't this feature considered for implementation if it's clearly lacking?
-
I'm having the same issue. The adjustment layers are ignored on export.
Any ideas?

Thanks for the video!
The scenario is simple: The ability to select elements of a group that have other overlapping elements outside of that group.
With the "isolation mode" in Illustrator you can achieve it in a few clicks. In AD, you have to manually lock the other groups/elements or manually pick the ones you want resulting in multiple clicks, depending on how many elements you have.
-
So you want to select the small circles inside the group without selecting the background rectangles?
Am I wrong?
Yes, that is correct.
-
I think it is a matter of workflow...
Isolation Mode is a ux solution that Adobe inherited from Macromedia, being illustrator the only professional vector too on OSX it is recognised as a "must" feature.
Personally I think it is fundamental in Illustrator, where layer palette is the awful same code since earliest versions.
In AD would be a plus, imho.
CMD+Click allows to pick a nested object, ALT+Click overlapping objects.
Moreover grouping/nesting and clipping are non linear operations, made simple stupid using Layer Studio.
Last but not least the "Find in layers" command. Very handy.
So isolation mode would be probably a nice addition, but I'd love to see other features as first in next versions.
Thanks for your opinion.
Although, I'm not sure how the features you listed compensate for the lack of an "isolation mode".
On this video I posted above (https://dl.dropboxus...oup_example.mp4) how would you do to select the shapes from the group inside the drag area?
-
-
"CMD + Shift + /" will do exactly what you're asking, like mentioned above.
-
MEB, the problem is that when doing that, it will select all objects and not only the ones inside the group I'm currently at.

I haven't been doing any graphical work lately, but this feature is pretty essential to me.
Not sure why there's not more people complaining about the same thing.
-
Here's the service file just in case.
-
For anyone interested in the same thing (or similar) I ended up doing it as a shell script and it worked pretty great.
You can always do an Automator Service so you can trigger it with a right-click on the folder.
I'm sure there are easier/shorter ways to do it but this is working fine. :)

Hi guys,
with my current pipeline I'd like to be able to on exporting my slices (1x, 2x, 3x) a folder action would kick in and sort all my exported files to their respective folders.
Do you know any "easy" way to do this? I've been giving it a go with AppleScript but it's a pain to work with.
Cheers!

This is definitely one thing that makes a lot of sense. Having to export every time I open a PSD (instead of just saving it) is a pain.
-
Hmmm... You probably don't get any warnings because I removed the other layers that contained pixel objects.
I don't get it either on the file I sent. But it still doesn't export the @3x.

It's beyond ridiculous this issue is still happening after years of being initially reported. Is this still being investigated or have you reached the point of not caring at all?
