Staff Dan C Posted March 5, 2021 Staff Share Posted March 5, 2021 Hi @Chita, My apologies for the delayed response here, we are extremely busy following our 1.9 update and working from home is unfortunately extending our response window to be longer than normal, many thanks for your continued patience and understanding here. Can you please confirm what you are referring to when you say "sublayer" please? I can see in your screenshot you have selected multiple nested Adjustment layers - so I'm not 100% certain what you're hoping to achieve currently. Many thanks in advance Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!

(Designer & APhoto) If you right-click an adjustment layer you can Select Same Tag Colour and Select Same Name Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Just don't see the Select Same Tag Colour/Name when I right click / Control Click on the nested layers. I think this is a Mac Windows difference.

Old Bruce Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Ah, I see it is Clipped (innermost) versus Nested (?) sublayers. Wrong terms I am sure. The innermost layers have a small menu when I right click on them And then when I have layers Nested or outside the Layer I can choose the Same Name/Tag colour item Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear.

R C-R Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Maybe I have misunderstood what is wanted but on my Mac I can just CMD-click on as many items in the Layers panel as I want to select them.

The problem is with mask-nested layers: the parent and all children become selected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not on "clipped" layers, regardless if it's a mask, a pixel or a regular layer. (El Capitan here) Click or option-click the thumbnail will select just one of any amount of "clipped" layers. Shift-click the thumbnail will enable or disable a "clipped" layer. Click the name selects all children incl. the parent. Command-click outside the thumbnale selects or deselect all or nothing, sometimes it activates the current layer name field Quote MacBookAir 15": MacOS Ventura > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // MacBookPro 15" mid-2012: MacOS El Capitan > Affinity v1 / MacOS Catalina > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // iPad 8th: iPadOS 16 > Affinity v2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(El Capitan here) [...] @Old Bruce's "nested" layers are clipped (clip-nested) layers, and his "clipped" layers are mask-nested layers. When that confusion is cleared up, you'll see that my message was correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
