merge option when dragging

Post by Peter Wassink »

sometime i simply want to merge a single frame on to another frame.

now i first have to make these 4 steps:
- create new layer
- drag frame to new layer
- drag new layer to position above frame i want it to merge with.
- merge layers.

My intuition is to simply drop the selected frame on top of the desired frame.
But if i do that i get a pop up asking : copy or insert?
why not add merge?



This would reduce the proces to just 2 steps:

-drag frame on top of the frame i want it to merge with
-choose merge from the options: [ -copy, -insert, -move, -merge]

making it much more intuitive and powerfull.

It's crazy, we've had a discussion about this a week or two, and we agreed that this would be a cool feature to have :D
It's in our list ;)
