Description stephen 2020-10-09 14:23:16 UTC
SUMMARY
This goes into the wishlist and targets Interaction tools' added compatibility with Paint layers.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Select multiple paint/vector layers(at least a total of three selected layers in
the stack)
2. Execute any alignment or distribution function in the interaction tools

OBSERVED RESULT
Currently impossible to align or distribute paint layers(a little bummer;
why didn't you think about it earlier ?)

EXPECTED RESULT
Whether vector or raster layers are selected, they are disposed according to
the executed interaction tool.

Do you mean the Arrange docker?

> Do you mean the Arrange docker?

Hello Tymond.
If you mean toolbars buttons like "Vertically Center", "Horizontally center", "Align Top" etc, then yes. However, it seems none of these are in the Arrange docker. 
These buttons are useful and would be better shown rather than hidden.They can be disabled when less than two or three layers are selected depending on which button.
I'm of course referring to the compatibility of these functions with paint layers. They are really really helpful for graphic design or to arrange multiple variation sketches of a concept in rows/columns. And it's a plus for the presentation.

It seems it's literally impossible to use them with paint layers right now due to lack of implementation.

@stephen can you please add a screenshot showing those buttons (mark them somehow, with red outline for example)? I'm not sure which ones you mean, and a screenshot will be helpful.

Arrange docker

This is the same thing, just in a different place. Usually people use Arrange docker since it's easier than adding stuff to the toolbar.
