Ungroup vs Unclip

[William Kansepa]

Scenario: You have a group consisting of multiple subgroups, clipping groups and you want to ungroup everything in one click. So you hit on the Ungroup All command and all hell breaks loose! You only want to ungroup the subgroups but at the same time also need to maintain the clipping groups...

VS needs to be able to make a clear distinction between a mere group and a clipping group.

Perhaps a new command to specifically to deal with Clipping Groups would be in order?
Unclip Group?
Release Clipping Group?
Remove Clipping Group?

@William-Kansepa I agree that 'Ungroup All' should not extract the content of the clipping groups inside that group.

But there is a command that does that for selected clipping groups (not for "mixed" groups) — in the Object menu > Arrange > Extract Content.

The button is this one in the context panel:

@William-Kansepa Would it be OK if Ungroup All skips all clipped groups?

[William Kansepa]

@VectorStyler Yes, that would be lovely. Am assuming that you mean Ungroup will no longer unclip Clipping Groups, but can still ungroup them from normal groups?Thank you.

[William Kansepa]

@b77 Thank you you for that tip.

I meant here "Ungroup All", not the basic "Ungroup"
"Ungroup All", would only ungroup a group if it is not clipped..
