UI Suggestion: Layer Window
on: August 19, 2018, 02:28:59 AM
I wanted to give some suggestions to the Layer Window, I noticed that the layer functions tend to be really far apart from each other.

I use clipping masks alot of times I realized I move my pencil back and forth a considerable amount just to "create a new layer-> click settings ->enable clipping masks" this is similar to the other layer functions.

like this


it'd be great if functions (like clipping masks, duplicate, group, delete etc) could be more easier to access like a side menu appearing next to the layer itself (left pic: Procreate's)


or if the lower buttons could more accessible too when it's nearer when you click the "Layers" button on the upper right.

Agree with this.. and hope in future updates it will be easier and more direct to access useful functions like clipping masks without extra clicks.

+1. I don't use any items from the "Layers" top menu except for "add from photos", because it's not available in the panel. All other things don't make sense there, since you are not 100% certain what layer is selected at the moment.

I hope Customizable Quick Menu will satisfy all requests like "please add a button to quickly do something".
