Viewport layer selection by Ctrl + Right Click.

[Ruslan TV]

Hi! Is there any way to select layer under top layer by invoking full layer stack on that coordinates? In Photoshop it works. In Affinity it show only top layer or group. May be there is some settings that I'm don't know?

P.S. Top tier apps has that function ( I checked Photoshop, Artstudio Pro, Procreate).  I would love to have it in my favorite Affinity apps.

My system is Windows 11.

If I understand correctly what you mean by "full" then I do not think there is. And since there could be hundreds of layers in the document, I'm not sure that would be of much use.

I mean all layers under that pixel without alpha channel (all visible pixels in the stack of that pixel). It is extremely useful thing when you name layers properly. For example you can quick jump to the shadow layer or to the background.

Number of layers isn't problem, most of the time number of visible layers which hidden under one pixel is about 5-15. You just slide over that list and finding exact layer name.

Yes, very useful when found in other apps.

Also, when mousing over an item in the pop-up list, the outline of that object should be temporarily highlighted in the document view.

Hopefully, a moderator moves this thread to Feedback & Suggestions forum so the devs see it.
