sansnom Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 🇬🇧 Hi, I don't understand the logic of Affinity Designer 2.5.5 regarding the display of layers and groups in the appropriate panel when selecting objects in the artboard that are identical in their construction!… Is there a logic, is it a bug or am I completely stupid?… 🇫🇷 Bonjour, je ne comprends pas la logic d'Affinity Designer 2.5.5 quant à l'affichage des calques et des groupes dans le panneau idoine lors de la sélection d'objets dans le artboard pourtant identiques dans leur construction !… Y a-t-il une logique, est-ce un bug ou suis-je complètement idiot ?… Selection, what is the logic?.mp4 Quote — Mac Mini M2 Pro - 16Go - 512 Go – macOS Sonoma 14.7.1 – BenQ PD2700U UHD 4K — Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl123 Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 You have 2 different types of layers (Group and Layer) They will act differently depending on your Auto-Select settings Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

sansnom Posted September 29 Author Share Posted September 29 Hi @carl123, thanks again for your very informative feedback: I had never noticed this subtlety (?!). On the other hand, as much as the command for Layer Groups is obvious (Command + G) and I have always used it as it seems self-evident, as much as I have not found the command to “group” Layers in another Layer (unless this configuration is the legacy of a graphic file created with another vector application)!… So, we have Layer Groups AND Layers containing Layers!… Then, we have a first option, on the left in the contextual toolbar: “Automatic selection”, YES or NO. And again, we have in the same place three sub-options: Default, Objects or Groups. And finally, we have an option “Modify all Layers” located at the bottom of the Panel of the same name. I bow: I am definitely not intelligent enough to understand all these subtleties (because yes, there is certainly a reason for all this... Well, I hope so), even after carefully reading the online Help. NB: unchecking the “Automatic selection” option and choosing the “Objects” option no longer allows the selection of any object on the Artboard, whether it is in a Group or in a Layer containing other Layers!… Quote — Mac Mini M2 Pro - 16Go - 512 Go – macOS Sonoma 14.7.1 – BenQ PD2700U UHD 4K — Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sansnom Posted September 29 Author Share Posted September 29 Hi @walt.farrell, thank you for your feedback. I will go into these options later: there must be a gain in using them... 😉 Quote — Mac Mini M2 Pro - 16Go - 512 Go – macOS Sonoma 14.7.1 – BenQ PD2700U UHD 4K — Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
