Description Spencer Brown 2016-12-06 07:07:12 UTC

Let's say I've got sixteen layers in my base color texture for different material layers. If I want to clone these layers to inherit alpha from for another BRDF parameter, I have to click each layer, click the arrow next to the add layer button, and add a clone layer for each. Then I have to select all of the layers and drag them into the group for the next BRDF parameter I'm working on. This can get a bit tedious.

I would like to be able to select multiple layers, right click them, click a menu item called "Clone these layers" or something similar, and get a big old stack of clones, selected and ready to go where I need them, above the topmost layer in my selection.

What do you think?

Fix "New Multiple Clone Layers" feature

1) It should not try to copy masks
2) The position of the newly created layers should be at the top of
   the layers stack. Therefore, we should use
   sortAndFilterMergableInternalNodes.
