we need click and drag on the eye icon to switch the visable status of the layer.

Hi!
I hope necro-posting is fine in this case because it’s exactly what I’m searching for, the thread hasn’t been closed and the suggestion is still valid today.

@wolthera

This was requested before, and we literally cannot implement it. Our gui toolkit just doesn’t allow for it.

It’s been almost 4 years now; any chance for this situation to have changed?
It would be such a clear and side-effect-free improvement

Thanks for your awesome work on Krita btw!

ShapesAndLayers Plugin [9 tools](Krita 5+)

I was gonna wait for the beta but had some time so figure I’ll just release it now. It is effectively a collection of scripts that I polished up and made into a plugin. Make sure that you are on the LATEST Krita 5 build. Shapes and Layers Krita Plugin This plugin includes a collection of tools to manipulate layers, shapes and other convenience tools. (Requires Krita 5.0+) Features Split Shapes Into Layers Usage: Layer->Split->Split Vector Shapes Into Layers... Finds all shapes inside a ve…

Personally I’m using this to drag and hide though it would be amazing if it were native to Krita and didn’t require a plugin

It would be fine if you add something to a discussion that brings in new aspects, additional information, everything that can be discussed further. But what is absolutely disliked in this forum are post a la “+1”, “I second this” and any similar meaningless and information-free postings as it is even stated in our Code of Conduct:

@Code of Conduct

Keep It Tidy

Make the effort to put things in the right place, so that we can spend more time discussing and less cleaning up. So:

Don’t start a topic in the wrong category.
Don’t cross-post the same thing in multiple topics.
Don’t post no-content replies.
Don’t divert a topic by changing it midstream.

Rather than posting “+1” or “Agreed”, use the Like button. Rather than taking an existing topic in a radically different direction, use Reply as a Linked Topic.

If you want to show your support for a requested feature you can cast your vote for it, therefore this blue button left beside the headline of the opening post exists. “+1”, and “I second this” are ignored and can even be deleted, so you had won nothing, and done repeatedly is an even badder idea…

At least your post has lead to an answer that showed there is a solution in form of a plugin for those not using the Android-Version of Krita.

So, please keep it in mind for the future. Because if those participating in a topic have any news, then they’ll report about them, and in case a feature was implemented in between, it is mentioned at the end of the topic, and the topic usually is closed to free up the cast votes, so the voting users can use them for other feature requests they support.

Well it is not the same with click and drag but multi selecting and clicking on visibility on one could change the status of all selected. That is possible and easy.
