shushustorm Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Hey everyone! Not sure if intended or not, but I can't shift-select some layers within one group, then cmd+click to add another layer within another group, then shift-select within that other group. The last step doesn't work. This doesn't seem to be implemented using Designer 1.10.4, which may not be the most current version. I am rarely updating in order to keep workflow stability. I searched for "select layers different groups" and didn't find this issue. Best wishes, Shu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Have you tried keeping Ctrl+Shift pressed down while you select the other layers? You may need Edit all Layers switched ON in the Layers Panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shushustorm Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 @GarryP Thanks for the reply! I just tried that, but unfortunately, to no avail. I already had Edit all Layers enabled. I tried with that disabled. Didn't work either, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 I’ve attached a short video showing what works for me. If that’s not working for you then you may need to update to 1.10.5. If that’s not what you want to do then we may need more details about what you want to do. 2022-10-09 08-24-12.mp4 shushustorm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shushustorm Posted October 9, 2022 Author Share Posted October 9, 2022 @GarryP Thanks for the reply! I guess I wasn't describing the issue precisely enough: I am selecting the layers themselves (from the layers menu), not the visible objects.

GarryP Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Ah, I see; thanks, that makes things more clear. At the moment, Shift-clicking in the Layers Panel selects all of the ‘intervening’ layers from the last selected layer to the most-recently selected layer, inclusive, regardless of whether the layers are in different groups. And you want to be able to Shift-click ‘sets’ of layers from different groups, without the ‘intervening’ layers also becoming selected? (I think this has already been requested but I can’t be bothered to find the thread, if it exists.) shushustorm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
