[Request] locking of individual objects

[nickydude]

To allow locking of individual objects on a layer as it's now all or nothing.

[cursor]

So, do you want some objects on a single layer (as locked) to be selectable, while others (on the same layer) are not? Why not simply put them on different layers, then make the layer(s) accessible ... or not?

[pauland]

Yes, I've never really needed such a feature because I use layers a lot.

[nickydude]

You could cursor. Is there no difference between 20 objects on one layer and 20 layers with one object?

[steve.ledger]

Was that a rhetorical question?

Here's how I can look at that:

1 person in a room on each floor of a 20 story building.
20 people in the same room on one floor of a 20 story building.

I know which scenario I think is easier to manage.

[nickydude]

So file size and memory wise there's no difference?

Rather than creating a long list of layers that house one element each, consider creating just one (or a few) layer(s) for position-locked elements, and name it (them) meaningfully.

[shrug]While this method works for me, I imagine there might be scenarios that require a different approach.[/shrug]

Whilst there may be some very small difference between a .web file saved with one object on each of 20 layers and one with 20 objects on one layer, the output site (html + files) would have to be identical.
Try it

Thanks guys.
