davidlower8 Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 In Affinity 2 when I select a group (not through the layers panel) it selects the individual layer. In Affinity 1 the behaviour would select the whole group. You double click to select sub groups and keep double clicking until you reach the desired layer. Although a tedious solution at times it did mean you could select groups AND layers without having the use the layers panel. Now it is impossible to select a group outside of the layers panel. I don't know if I have accidentally changed a setting. In addition, if I drag my cursor around a whole group > copy/paste elsewhere - it will copy the layers and not have it as a group. Is this a bug or a setting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Have you got “Allow selection to consider items inside a group” (to the left of the alignment buttons) switched ON in the Context Toolbar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidlower8 Posted November 24, 2022 Author Share Posted November 24, 2022 Garry THANK YOU! That was switched off. What a relief. The other setting was a serious pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
