    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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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?

     

  4. 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.

  5. 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?

  6. 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. :)

    #!/bin/bash
    # Creates folders to sort files exported by Affinity Designer
    mkdir -p images
    mkdir -p images/2x
    mkdir -p images/3x
    
    for file in ./*2x.png
    do
    	if [ -f "$file" ]
    	then
    		newName=$(basename ${file/@2x})
    		mv $file images/2x/$newName
    	fi
    done
    
    for file in ./*3x.png
    do
    	if [ -f "$file" ]
    	then
      		newName=$(basename ${file/@3x})
      		mv $file images/3x/$newName
    	fi
    done
    
    for file in ./*.png
    do
    	if [ -f "$file" ]
    	then
      		mv $file images
    	fi
    done
