Wait, Timothee... In current implementation, when you set default opacity, then it influences both outline and region, at the same time. There is no way to have shape and outline created with different opacity values. My guess is that you creating several outline/region pairs, each pair with different settings, and then you reorder the layers, am I right? In this case I have to agree - the grouping won't work here. Also, when I remember our shadow vectorization workflow (during production of Morevna Project), I have to admit that removing BlenMethod/Opacity widgets wasn't good idea. On the other hand, there are lot of accidents happening for newbie users, when they have problems with those widgets. Then, my proposal is: disable saving/restoring of Default BlendMethod/Opacity in the SynfigStudio's settings file. In this case at the start of Synfig the Opacity will be always = "1.0" and Blend Method will be always = "By layer Default". So, even if the user screwed something during the work, then he can restart SYnfig and work normally. > I may not have this problem if it was easily possible to auto-create > shape layers corresponding to selected outline layers, afaik if the > shape is not created when drawing outline it's not straight forward to > create a new correspong fill shape. > > Or is there a new magic feature I'm missing? We have "Create Region" command for Outline layer, but it works for one layer only. I believe that would be easy to make it work for several layers at once. Yu, my apologies for digressing the topic. I just couldn't resist to put my concerns about removing Blend Method/Opacity. For me it's fine to replace "Amount" to "Opacity" as layer parameter name. For me it's also ok to leave things as they are ("Opacity" as name for default opacity widget and "Amount" in the layer parameters) I don't feel comfortable with changing "Default Opacity" to "Default Amount" (on the toolbox), because that will be a bad impact for intuitivity.
