Request: Graphic Indicators Distinguishing Child from Clipping Mask Layers

[Mark Oehlschlager]

Presently, Affinity Photo uses different levels of indentation to distinguish between Child Layers and Clipping Mask Layers. The level of indentation is not always clear, and neither is the relation of the layers to one another.

Please consider adding a symbol to the layers to more clearly and directly indicate the role a layer plays, either as a Child Layer, or as a Clipping Mask Layer.

I agree this would be very helpful.

I also agree.
The Layers Panel could do with some extra visual indication as to how layers are nested.
This would be especially useful with multiply-nested layers where a slight horizontal shift may not be enough of a change to quickly differentiate the relation.

+1.   Although   I can say I hardly use child layers . They are very  inconvenient  and limited in options
