Affinity 2 - Designer/Photo/Publisher Layers Group as Preview instead of Generic Folder Icon?


Recommended Posts

Is this possible to change the group folder icon from the generic one to the group preview? This was extremely helpful for me in the past to the point where I might use the previous versions of Affinity for this. This is a creative suite used by visual people and visual helpers are pretty great, but now removed? I hope there is a fix here. Thanks in advance!

Great.  This was a major complaint I had with V2.  Another was the V1 Preference setting "Auto-scroll to show selection in Layer's panel" being missing.  And sure enough it looks like it's there in the hamburger menu of the Layer's panel.  I haven't tested it yet but it looks good.  Two birds down with one stone.
