Yes, this would be superior functionality. Also, would be good for the color of the mask outline to correspond to a generic layer color. So, similar to illustrator, each of our layers should have corresponding selection color which we could use for this type of notification.

Also would be great to have ui to allow for selection of this layer selection color.

What do you guys think?

I really like this idea.  We should probably also draw the outline of the clipping path shape when editing.

I don't think that should be limited to the clipping path alone. The present object selection cues are all
somewhat lacking in that if the you zoom in on a part of the object closely enough, you can't see either
the bounding box or that diamond thingy at the top right. It would make more sense to draw the actual
outline of the object/path imho.

Other related improvement by way of selection cuing could include highliting explicitly selected path
segments.

Just ideas for now; I actually haven't had time to look at the code yet, so i don't know how hard it'd be.
