Hi everyboy,
yesterday I succeeded it repairin an imac G5 1,8GHz. On this brand new machine I'm making an entierly new inkscape experience. Did some professional work - wow, it rocks. Compared to my slightly outdated G4 - what a difference…
Therefore - what is said too seldomly: THANKS FOR MAKING INKSCAPE !! - I love it!
BTW.: Can someone give me a quick hint: How can I find out on which (probabely locked) layer an object resides? - Couldnt google an anser for that.
Greetings,
Wolf

I usually go through my layers turning off visibility on all, flicking them back on/off one at a time. And sometimes I will find that parts of my drawing are actually not on any of the layers. For example, if I turn off visibility on all layers, the objects in question are still visible.
At that point I marqee-select the non-layered objects, cut and paste them into a new layer.
I don't know if this is exactly what you are asking, but that's how I go about determining which layer an object is on. And it also addresses the somewhat confusing problem of objects that are not associated with any of the existing layers.

From time to time I have the same. These objects are on the root layer which
is not part of the layers shown in the dialog. Still, you can move objects down (?) to the regular layers.

Hi everybody,
when building inkscape files with some 10 or 20 layers, I quite often happen to somewhere get lost of an object. By accident it is in a layer I didnt intend it to be. And it's quite a struggle to find such a "lost" object - meaning to find out at which layer it actually happens to be.
Jason's method described below undoubtedly works - but takes some time and effort.
Does it make sense to issue a feature request "assigning objects to layers" ? An idea could be to define a combination of keys or mouse buttons - and a little yellow text box is displayed at mouse over, telling me, which layer does contain that object.
Or did I miss a feature already in place?
Yours, Wolf

When selecting an object, the drop down box at the bottom shows the layer.

Right - but that only works, if the layer in question is not locked. In my work, normally most layers are locked and only very few are open.
