Hiding/Grouping Layers

Post by Johannes »

Dear TvPaint,

i'm getting messed up with all the Layers in my Projects. I navigate through my layer via the arrow keys. When i hide Layers in the timeline they're still selectable with the arrow key and i may accidentially work on the wrong layer. It would be great if the hidden layers would'nt be selectable and editable.

My best, Johannes.

The issue is well known and until the situation becomes improved the workaround for me is to lock them all as a group. Once I select a color to group layers for hiding, I group-lock these at the same time as well.

I was starting to have trouble with this too. That sounds like a useful workaround, thanks!
