Request: Graphic Indicator for Layers with Blend Options Applied

[Mark Oehlschlager]

Very often, blend options get applied to more than one layer in an Affinity Photo composite, and there is no indication to the original author, nor to the artist who has received the file, which layers are being affected by applied blend options. 

Please add a graphic indicator, an symbol, to the layers to which blend options have been applied.

I’m pretty sure that this has been requested before but I can’t find any earlier requests.
I agree that it would be useful to be able to see where the Blend Options were different to the defaults for any particular layer.
This would be particularly useful when problem solving, making it easier to see when something is different without having to check each layer individually and very carefully.
By way of example, try playing ‘spot the difference’ between these two Blend Option dialogs. How may differences can you see, and how long does it take you to see them, and how well do you think you would do if you couldn’t see the two dialogs at the same time? (There are, at least, five differences.)
