fdelaneau Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 For me one of the greatest UI updates from Photoshop lately has been the layers filters. Being able to search layers by name or to show only the text layers has been a great time saver for me since it has been introduced in Photoshop. Having something similar in Affinity Designer would help a lot. By the way, I would love to see 2 other options related to the layers panel : Always show the selected layer (removes the need to constantly use find in layers panel) ; Only show the current art-board (in case of multiple art-boards, only the layers of the current art-board are visible). rekorder, chr.schmitz and ChrisMoon 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chr.schmitz Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Thumbs up for the option to choose layers by name with the help of a search field, e.g. to activate/deactive layers with identical names or name parts! This feature would save me lots of time... rekorder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirk23 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 There is much better approach in Xara. So called "names" which are in fact an inheritable tags . So you could set whatever many tags you want for an object/layer and then if you duplicates it the copy inherits those tags. So why we couldn't have something similar within AP and AD . Mac OS have it for files already. chr.schmitz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekorder Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 is there a solution for being able to search layers by name within Affinity Designer by now? Would really help a lot ;-) Thank you! chr.schmitz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chr.schmitz Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 kirk23, you are right! Selecting by tags would be even smarter than selecting by names... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiboOst Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Also, when right clicking a layer in layer panel, contextual options : - Select all visible layers - Select all layers - Invert layers selection And of course, talking about layers: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/33352-afph-multiple-layers-selection/ nod74 and chr.schmitz 2 Quote intel i7-3930K - 32Go - SSDs | Dual screen | Running last customer beta Win 7 Pro SP1 x64 | nVidia GTX 680 - v376.33 | intuos 3 - v6.3.15-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
