Phil_rose Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I don't really know if this is a question or a feature suggestion or request. I have a pretty complicated piece I'm working on and I created an arrow. I then moved it in the stack within layers and lost track of it. As a result I have had to expand and contract multiple sets of layers until I tracked it down. Affinity being great has named this arrow "arrow" within the layers palette. I wish there were a way to search for that item by name. If there were a magnifying glass button at the top of layers and I could type in "arrow" and it would locate anything name that and I will also be up to use this to locate blocks of text simply by typing in some of the words from that block of text. Is there anything that approximates this, even? Thanks for any advice and if there is nothing like this I can add this to the feature requests forum. Phil Quote I like turtles!

toltec Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Can you not select it by Alt + clicking? You can right click and "Find in layers panel" (Ctrl/Cmd + K). This can be set to happen immediately on selecting something. User Interface in preferences " Show Selection in layers panel". Not perfect but I use that sometimes to find things I've "lost".

Phil_rose Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 Aha, that helps though I'd still love a search option! Quote I like turtles!
