How do I drag a vector layer into a switch layer?

Post by p8guitar »

It just doesn't work, and I wonder why...
When I drag a vector layer into a switch layer, the switch layer should be highlighted red and then the vector layer should be under the switch layer (meaning: in the switch layer group).
But I can only drag the vector layer above or below the switch layer, not into it.
?!?

Make sure the little arrow on the switch layer is pointing down.
Sorry for bad animation

Thanx! :D

A question to the developer: What is the reason for that? I wouldn't see any disadvantage when dragging a layer into the switch layer worked also when the little arrow is not pointing down.

I think the reason is to avoid confusion: when dragging over collapsed layers you're never sure where your layer landed. The concept exist elsewhere as well.
