How to select multiple layers?

There is an API selectedNodes() that returns all selected nodes.

However, how to select multiple nodes (for example, multiple layers) at the first place?

I’ve only found setActiveNode(), which seems to select only one layer.

I know it is not a very pretty code, but this is the way to do it.
You can manipulate the selection state by specifying the Id or name of the layers you want to select and placing them in the QItemSelectionModel.

Storeroom of scripts

This is a script that adds the specified layer to the selection. This allows you, for example, to add layers with the same color labels to the selection and make them the target of free transformations. However, this may be useful in limited situations… from krita import * application = Krita.instance() activeDoc = application.activeDocument() activeNode = activeDoc.activeNode() qwin = application.activeWindow().qwindow() layerBox = qwin.findChild(QDockWidget, "KisLayerBox") layerList = laye…

I think you can only have one active node at a time but you can use that list to cycle though them.
