</div>Well, that's just an implementation artefact of our layerbox: originally, we<br>
intended to make masks appear in a row after the layer, but that was never<br>

</div>Make two different types of selections? That might well help, if we can find a<br>
solution for the global selection.<br>

</div>Er -- what do you mean with explicit masks here? I'm not suggesting to take<br>
make a filter mask into two nodes in the layerbox, but we could consider<br>
making the mask/selection/paintdevice in the filter layer explicit.<br><div class="im"></div></blockquote><div><br>By an explicit mask I mean a mask that isn't built-in. In Krita the only way to do that would be to have a child.<br>
Such a mask could be turned off or moved without, while for example the adjustment layer stays in place (then working on the whole image)<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

</div>I'm not sure I follow you here, not even with the image.<br><div class="im"></div></blockquote><div><br>Let's say you would minimize Layer 1. As a result the layer box would only show Layer 1 and the masks would be hidden. The small thumbnail would show the content of the layer, but not the effect of the masks applied to it. It would be the same no matter if the tree is collapsed to the top or the bottom.<br>
<br>On the other hand the group layer would show a thumbnail of the layer with all filters applied.<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

</div>But that's always going to be a problem, right? Not sure how relevant that's<br>
here.<br>
