I don’t hate it but it can be a little frustrating and awkward. It’s still better than it was in v8 and than the application manager. It desperately needs a refresh button. And layering needs a rethink/overhaul. V10 maybe. Looking at the bug list there are heaps for PB that have/will not be add

Hi Sean, Try collapsing the groups in the PB, then dragging the Graphic Object in between them. I find that if the groups are displayed expanded, then the dragged object will end up in the group above where it is dropped, but with the groups collapsed you should be able to drop the objects in

If the group is expanded in the Project Browser, then it lands inside the group.  If the group is collapsed/closed then it will move between groups. Thanks, Brian On Jun 15, 2020, 2:49 PM -0400, Alex Tweedly via use-livecode , wrote: > two possible, but not great, answers ... but (something like

two possible, but not great, answers ... but (something like) this has worked for me in the past. 1. - drag/drop the grc rect to the containing group or card (i.e. outside the groups it should not be in)  - drag / drop other groups to before it 2. - select the group it is in    - "Ungroup"

Hi all, This has been a problem for some time now but it's just got so much more frustrating for me. I tend to organise my objects into groups as there are often lots of them and it helps keep them manageable. However, I have created a rectangle grc I need positioning between two group layers but
