I see the layer selector, but how do I actually use the layers? I skipped the whole layer discussion figuring I'd wait until it was done before asking questions. :)
Well, we have layers implemented internally, but not really enough UI for them. What I did was take the layers UI we did have, trim off a few of the rough edges, and call it the "Edit group" feature.
Just right-click on a group, select "Edit group", and, until you leave it, you can draw within/select objects as if it were a layer.
To leave a group, either:
* select an object outside it
* select "Edit root" or "Edit parent group" from the context menu
* use the layer selector to select one of its ancestors instead
That's pretty much all there is to it right now.
