Frozen Death Knight Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I was trying to select a group in a project I was working on when I noticed that it got rasterized when using a brush. So I checked out the Assistant and got confused by the naming of the option that rasterized the group. It's called "vector layers" which confused me, since I associate vectors with well, vector shapes, not groups and stuff. The same could be said about erasing and applying filters to "vector layers".

walt.farrell Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I don't think there's a good term other than raster vs non-raster, which isn't going to be a helpful terminology, either.

Alternatively you divide each option up so that you can decide the settings for each layer type separately. So one tab is "Groups", another is "Vectors", another is "Images", etc., etc. That way you have a bit more control for each layer type while allowing for better naming that directly refers to the type of layer you are changing the setting for.
