Of course, the documentation in this case is an obvious mismatch to what the program does. The current behavior is useless, under any workflow I try to imagine (after all, if the layers are to be flattened, there is no reason for place them in a group to start with);
Anyway, the "right" fix for this wouldbe to allow multiple item selection, as Alex puts it. Meanwhile, I've put together this small Python script that does just that: move the selected (linked) layers to a target (active) layer group. Just copy it to your plug-ins folder, and mark it as executable (not needed under windos) http://fpaste.org/183299/ js -><- On 8 February 2015 at 17:38, Alexandre Prokoudine <alexandre.prokoud...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Sun, Feb 8, 2015 at 8:14 AM, Gary Aitken wrote: > >> When you say some preliminary work has been done there, are you >> referring to the chain / link that appears in the layers dialog? > > No, it's been there for ages :) > > I'm talking about how you can make multiple selections of assets > (brushes, gradients and so on), if you switch their view to 'list' > rather than 'icon'.
