ThirtyFiveThousand Posted November 12, 2022 Posted November 12, 2022 This is my one major complaint with ADV2. In V1, dragging an item into another item within the Layers panel was very clear: a blue bar appeared across the middle of the target item. In V2, hovering one item over another causes the blue bar to flicker above and below the item you are attempting to drag an item into. Is it going where I think it’s going? 🤷🏾♂️ The visual clue I have relied on for years is no longer available. It’s now a series of wild guesses. I’m still waiting on that Collapse All command in the Layers that will allow more efficient searches of the organized layers and groups my files contain. Collapsing all containers at once vs scroll scroll scroll scroll scroll scroll scroll scrollIng through the Layers in order to collapse containers manually so that I can find things easier. Hopefully you guys are still steering the car based on that Roadmap of yours! MoonaticDestiny and R Seven 2 Quote
MoonaticDestiny Posted November 12, 2022 Posted November 12, 2022 I made a post about this. The middle blue line indicator for a clipping mask is now gone. It now works like the desktop version. I hate the desktop version. Thats why I preferred the ipad app. Its better for the blue line to show in the middle of the layer to indicate a clipping mask is being performed. Now if you want to make a clipping mask the blue line becomes a little thicker and appears below the layer and moves a little to the right. Sigh. The visual clue has changed and its annoying.

Dampsquid Posted November 23, 2022 Posted November 23, 2022 I can’t for the life of get the iPad version to create a clipping mask. Anyone know if there’s a video somewhere? This is crazy! Quote

I see it now - I have to drop actually on the rectangle that is the thumbnail... this is harder to see when using fingers than it used to be. Quote

Dropping the object onto the thumbnail creates an Opacity Mask. Dropping an object into another creates a Clipping Mask. Quote

It's a display bug. I vaguely remember it's been already reported and likely logged. In any case I remember to have posted to such a bug report a few weeks ago. In other words, no conspiracy, no evil deeds. Just a simple bug.

I also noticed it felt a bit off, and seem to consistently miss nesting/mask/group target. Quote
