Export Persona, make item visible in export, UI broken

[NotMyFault]

I found several UI  issues in export persona with the „visible“ flag for export.

For clarity: layers have 4 flags, but depending on persona only 3 are shown in layer options, and 2 are shown in layer stack by small symbol.

Designer or Photo Persona: visible (in canvas), locked, solo. Visible and locked are shown.

Export Persona: visible (in export): locked, solo.

1. the indicator in Export Persona layer view is indistinguishable from regular layer visibility.
2. the indicator in layer stack acts erratically when toggling one of 3 child layers. Other neighboring layer indicators are changed. When you enter layer options, the true state is shown. When returning, layer state indicator change again.
3. you can’t deactivate visible in export in layer stack, only in layer stack options. Hitting the extremely small icons is almost impossible. Activating them is easy, deactivating requires 10 tries.
4. the state icon differs from Desktop version
5. the doc says locking prevents editing. This is misleading, it prevents movement by move tool only.
6. in V1 it was possible to move layers (after clicking the horseshoe icon) and slices. In V2 move tool does not work on layers, only on slices.
7. the sentence is misleading: 

   The Layers panel is different from the Layers panel in Photo Persona. It is used exclusively as a precursor for selecting layers and groups from which slices can be created, and manually added to the Slices panel, ready for export.

   you can use layers panel to choose layer visibility for export, and export the full document utilizing the visibility flags made. You don’t need to use slices.
8. Having the lock flag in export persona is useless. You can’t move layers in export persona (only slices). 
9. what would be beneficial is having both visibility flags and solo flag available (but using dedicated visually different icons in layer panel)

Bug Affects on iPad Designer, Photo, V2.6.2 retail and latest beta. Publisher has no export Persona and is not affected.

Using V1 to compare: there are no UI issues of this kind.

@NotMyFault Sorry for the delay.

We have most of these logged with our developers and I've updated them to include your report.

In some cases, layers within the Export persona can be selected and moved around, curves layers can also be selected and edited using the Node Tool. However I don't believe this should be possible so I'm also logging that with the developers as well.
