Release to Layer[s]



  • First, compliments for the progress in the version 1.2 Beta. Aestetish's sharp-cornered user interface is a big improvement over the rounded version. A much more mature look. Too bad about the redundant layer unlock symbols.

    Now for the functionalities.

    Is it Release to Layer or Release to Layers?
    I can't get what I hoped for:

    Opening a QGIS svg file with the QGIS-layers saved as groups. In Illustrator I am used to opening this and clicking on layer 1 and then giving the command 'Release to Layers (sequence)'. The result is that all groups (while retaining group properties) are placed in their own layer.

    Why can't I get this done in the VS with the new 'Release to Layer' function?

    @Ayo In VS you need to select the groups that are release to layers. I will try to improve this to work in a way that is expected.



  • @VectorStyler said in Release to Layer[s]:

    In VS you need to select the groups

    If you have to select groups manually, the 'Layer from Group' function is sufficient. Does the same.

    @Ayo Will improve this while in beta.
