Bug ID: 399152 Summary: [feature request] create new layers above the selected group Product: krita Version: 4.1.1 Platform: MS Windows OS: MS Windows Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: Usability Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: katearche...@yandex.ru Target Milestone: --- When creating new layer with the selected group the layer is created inside the group, i.e. one level down. how to reproduce: 1. Create a group. 2. Select it. 3. Create a new layer(via hotkey or a button at the bottom of the layer docker). 4. The layer is created inside the group, one level down from the selected position in the layer stack. Expected: As with the creation of the layers with a layer already selected in the layer docker, I expect it to create a layer above the group layer, not inside/under. This is bothering me for three reasons: First is inconsistency, since creation of the layer with a layer selected works in one way(creates a layer on the same hierarchy level as firstly selected and placed above it) and creation of the layer with a group selected works in other way(creates a layer one hierarchy level down inside the group under the selected position in the layer docker). The second is that it can be pretty frustrating to pull that created layer back to the top hierarchy level if there are no individual layers there since the gaps between groups are too small and seven times of ten tries you'll drop that layer not between groups but inside of them. The third one is it's an extra action where it shouldn't be. If I want to create a layer inside a group I choose a layer inside a group and I'll be fine. If I want to create a layer on the same level of hierarchy I'll choose the element on the same level and I'll be fine. But with this behaviour I spent one extra action to get where I want to for now reason, since the only use case I can imagine this behaviour is make sense when you have an empty group and that is in my opinion is far more rare situation than a creation of the layer without wanting it to go under, not above the selected element of the layer stack. I know that it's kinda debatable but nonetheless kinda bothering me every time when I fight with the layer docker over trying to place the layer where I want in to be(Both in terms of logic of the placement and not-so-refined margins of the drop-zones). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
