Ron P. Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Also confirmed here on Win 10. Might note it's not fixed in the current Beta. Here's what's disturbing. I can not find any reference info for the menu command Release. I tried the Help file, both online and from within the app. If Serif documented it, they done a good job of burying it. Edited Why is it that after posting, which is after doing a lot of searching I finally come up with an answer...😒 Look at the command that Release is grouped with in the Right-click menu. Mask to Below. It is used to undo or release a Mask. Serif needs to get on the ball, crack the whip on whomever is responsible for documentation, (help files) and at least document such things somewhere other than in their own minds.

I know Ron, all I can think it might mean is to relocate a mask layer from being nested, perhaps it is a Photoshop expression. If it is this then that can be simply done by dragging the nested layer out from its parent. Seems to work fine on macOS.

Ron P. Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Done more research on the Release right-click menu command. In AP V1 and AD V1, the Release command does work for Releasing nested Group Layers, nested in a Group. In AP V2 AND AD V2, it is greyed out.

Staff MEB Posted February 21, 2023 Staff Share Posted February 21, 2023 Hi @PierMax, everyone, There's a couple inconsistencies here between versions (1 & 2) and OS's as well. I'm logging them to be looked at. Thanks for your support. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ifonawinters Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 I also have this issue. Has anyone found a solution? I use it a lot (dragging isn't so neat or simple) so I'm still using v1 and having both on my PC is taking up toooooo much space! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
