Feature Request: Multiple Layer Panel Windows (For easier drag and drop between them)


Recommended Posts

I have a ton of layers and I need to drag from one folder to the other.

There's currently no way to open two or more layers panel windows so that I set them up to be beside each other and drag between each.

I know how to open and view layers.  I know how to browse layers.  I just wish I can setup two or more layer panels next to each other floating... so I can drag from one layer panel to another layer panel.

In order for me to use CTA 5 (Cartoon Animator 5), it has templates for me to use.  I drag and drop things into the templates to make things faster, but it would be even faster if I had at least two layer panel windows in Affinity Photo / Designer that I could browse and use at the same time!

Maybe it wouldn't have to be two completely independent Layers panels, but it would just be enough to allow their vertical/horizontal division into two parts - as standard text/code editors do.

Before split:

After split (the splitter for setting the division between the left and right parts of the panel is not drawn):
