Some suggestions for the editor widget of the assistant tool

[Grum999]

One suggestion in list is

F153 Use assistant color as the highlight for the editor widget?

If you have many assistant like you have, the idea is to define colors to assistants (already possible) and then use this color for highlight of widget.
Maybe it should also be visible not only when highlighted, but always… ?

It doesn’t replace the ability to hide/unhide but as you saw in planned change, there’s a long list of change and also, there’s another topic that might match your need better:

[POLL] Assistant layers, masks, list, docker, tree?

There are multiple versions of all of those concepts floating around in the ether. Time to figure out which one should be implemented. When judging, please keep in mind the following usecases: complex paintings with plenty of assistants comic pages (every panel has their own assistants) maybe animation Assistant Masks In my opinion, this is one of the most useful ideas. Similar to Local Selections. In that idea, assistants are stored in masks that you can attach to all kinds of layers…
