Feel like a digital dummy working with Vectorstyler or how to ungroup all groups in layer

[Ayo]

Although I have a long career in design and have mastered many software packages I'm slowly starting to feel like a digital dummy working with Vectorstyler. Effortlessly, mastering Vectorstyler is a different cup of tea.

The forum helps so next question.

Why do I lose my fucking layer when I want to ungroup all groups in that layer?

Now I foresee you saying select the group in the layer and ungroup it. That works, but I work with long long lists of mixed objects and groups.

Illustrator gives me the logical result: skip the object and ungroup the group. Keep the layer.

Keep the layer.

I agree.

@Ayo Yep, this is different in VS. I will try to improve this.

A breaking point for me to say goodbye or not.
Seems like a layer in Vectorstyler is some kind of glorified group. In my view, a layer really has its own entity and functionality.
I'll wait and see

@VectorStyler
I almost have found a workaround

Don't like workarounds but I almost have found a workaround to batch ungroup all groups within a layer while preserving the layer.
Almost because it seems that only the listed visible items within the panel are converted. Items outside the panel remain {group}.

WHAT IS THIS?

@Ayo It should select all (not just visible). I have to replicate this.

Thanks! This will help a lot. I have now a bit of a backlog of fixes to do, but I should get to this soon
