I just noticed that Xara's PDF format properly supports layers so I can use it with Adobe software which is extremely exciting.
(I'm attaching the pdf that works for me and the result that it gives in Adobe After Effects)
Layers Xara.pdf
However, the current layers command list is fairly limited, so we are forced to move each object to a new layer one by one, which is a considerably time-consuming and labor-intensive process.
What I propose to implement is an equivalent of the Adobe Illustrator "release to layers" command, which is specifically:
Getting all the objects of the selected layers on level one (without expanding groups) and creating a new layer for each item under it.
This would essentially automate creating a new layer for each item within the selected layer and moving that item to its corresponding new layer.
Here is also a screen record of the "release to layers" command in Adobe Illustrator for your convenience - Release to layers.mp4
P.S.
I love Xara so much and I truly hope it keeps evolving. Thank you!
