Managing Folders in DDO

9of9

One thing that I've found quite confuddling about the workflow at the moment is what the best way of managing groups of layers - while you can move around individual material layers, duplicate them etc. folders seem to be a bit of a black hole. You can't duplicate a folder and, if you place a layer into a folder, I can't see any way of getting that layer out again ever.

Are these tools in there somewhere where I can't see them, or are they getting added later?

Just giving this a quick bump - does this really have no workaround still?

Yup you are not the only one who has this issue!

You can move layers out of folders by ungrouping them. Holding down the "Alt-key" while clicking the "Group button" will ungroup the folder that is currently selected!

Duplicating folders is something the dev team is looking in to at the moment!

Let me know if you have any further questions!

Wonderful - thank you! ^^

Oh sweet! Thanks for reply. Had no idea about this

What I find annoying is that to ungroup a layer you have to hold ALT, to enable / disable layer only in selected map you have to hold CTRL, for something else it was SHIFT. Its quite disorganized. Either use intuitive shortcuts to do alternative actions, or we need some form of a popup / alternative icons when holding CTRL / SHIFT / ALT buttons to make it obvious what will happen. Thanks
