Pete123 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I often need to work with documents that have an unhealthy amount of layers. A fast way to search a certain layer by it's name would really help. Now I need to review the complete layer list over and over again, sometimes missing the layer, starting over etc... This is actually the only feature I miss from Photoshop. I know there is a feature where you can click objects and have the layer selected, but that does not help me because most layers I need to find are not visible.

Alex_M Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I miss this too. It's very helpful for big documents with lots of named layers. angelhdz12 1 Quote Aleksandar Mitov www.renarvisuals.com CGI and 3D rendering services email: office@renarvisuals.com Affinity Photo 2.5.0 ◾ Windows 10 Pro x64 ver. 22H2 ◾ AMD Ryzen 7950X 16-core + 64 GB DDR5 ◾ GeForce RTX 3090 24GB + driver 551.86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogdan808 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 + Yes, I agree. This is a very important function. Especially for web developers. The absence of this functionality significantly affects the speed of operation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X-Raym Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 +1 !! This is highly desirable when you have tons of layers ! Similar feature is found on Illutstrator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

froamer Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 +1 for me. I spend literally hours scrolling up and down the layer list, looking for the right layer angelhdz12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hape13 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 +1 - I'd say for such a powerful tool like AD it's a must have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froamer Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 +1 from me! Clearly this would save people lots of time. It's crazy that a powerful suite like this makes users manually try and find a layer, when this request has been around for 7 years. A simple search box at the top of the layer list would be a good start. This constant scrolling through layers is impacting my workflow so much, I might have to switch back to Adobe 🙈, they have had this for years: https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/20610/search-layers-in-photoshop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X-Raym Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 +1 for this, Everytime I come back to Affinity I'm surprise to not found it, it a feature so handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
