Selecting Transparent Objects

[javierr]

Hi!

Just to remind, there are 4 ways of getting transparency (at least that I know, I am newbie here):

1. At object level: fills and strokes
2. At layer level: Opacity settings
3. At Layer Effects level: Fill opacity
4. At Tool level: Transparency Tool

It looks like some options of "Select Object" and "Select Same" are not working properly. I attach a file and write the following tests:

1. Deselect all objects and layers, then Select->Select object->Transparent Objects: It selects ALL objects (and text layers), regardless if they are transparent or not, and regardless of the type of transparency applied.
2. Select one of the objects with transparency via Colour panel: Select->Select Same->Transparency: selects ALL objects, same as before.
3. Select one of the objects with transparency via Layer panel: Select->Select Same->Transparency: selects NOTHING, not even the object in the third column, which has the same properties.
4. Select one of the objects with transparency via Layer Effects: Select->Select Same->Transparency: selects ALL objects, EXCEPT the ones with transparency in Layer Panel.
5. Select one of the objects with transparency via Transparency Tool: Works correctly.

 Also:

Could it be great if we can have a little hint (icon) in Layers panel to show which objects have the Transparency Tool applied.

 

Thank you!
