[tiled-user] Moving and selecting layers

[Bjørn Lindeijer]

Hello Pedro,

The planned solution is to draw layer boundaries, so that the move
operation becomes more obvious (I think it should really move the
layer, not the tiles physically). A menu option to resize the selected
layer to map boundaries would then also be added, to make the "new
part" editable.

The CTRL-click to select layer feature sounds cool. This would select
the first layer from the top that has a tile at the clicked area,
right? (I am not familiar with Photoshop).

Kind regards,
Bjørn
