collapse parent layer when child is selected in layer palette


Recommended Posts

Very often I have many individual components within a group, and it can be useful to leave auto scroll switched on to access the child.  However to close the layer back up, ie collapse it, I seem to have to scroll all the way up to the top of the child list to either clock on the triangle or right click/collapse.  When I am at the bottom of a long child list, it wold be great if I could right clock/collapse there....or am I missing something?

Here on Mac in Designer I can right click on the Layer and choose either Collapse Selection or Collapse All Parents. Way down at the bottom of the list, using the Move tool on the layers panel.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

You can also click on the collapse bar for any parent layer (below the parent's expand/collapse icon) to collapse everything in that layer, and you can do that at any level in the hierarchy.
