That reminds me ... we could really use a "make sublayer from selection" action or something similar.
Why, the New Layer command could just take the selection and put it into the new layer. I think it would be logical.
That might be confusing... for example, if a user draws a bunch of shapes on one layer, and then immediately creates a new one, the last shape drawn will get moved to the newly created layer.
So, what remains to do apart from enabling the buttons? (I can't wait :)
From Roadmap:
* Finish show/hide lock/unlock buttons [mental] * Add UI for setting inkscape:label attribute [mental] * Add "selection to sublayer" command and its inverse [mental, bb] * Make "move to next/prev layer" move selected objects to next/prev layer [mental, bb] * Make "intelligent" raise/lower aware of visibility status (using per-desktop SPDesktop::itemIsHidden?) [bb] * Make selection tool and tests for item-at-point aware of per-desktop visibility [bb] * search checks inkscape:label, and ignores layers [bb]
With respect to "intelligent" raise/lower, we should skip over invisible objects as well as those whose bboxes are outside the viewport.
Also, it shouldn't be possible to select an invisible object with the selection tool.
