Re-arrange, copy and paste layers

This new functionality applies to layers inside the Canvas Layer Editor. You now have the ability to select more than one layer at a time (including image layers, all types of mask layers and folders), move them to a different position within the same canvas, copy and paste them to a different canvas, or even to a different stage.

The following workflows assume you already have a canvas with multiple layers.

To select and re-order multiple layers

Choose Windows > Editors > Canvas Layer editor.
Click on a layer to make it active.
The layer appears blue.
Use the Shift and Ctrl keys to select or deselect multiple other layers or folders. The interaction is the same as in Windows Explorer.
The new selected layers/folders appear in white.
Click and drag the layers to the desired location.
A small pink arrow points to the location.
Release the mouse button to insert the layers at the indicated location.

To copy and paste layers into a different canvas

Repeat steps 1-3 from above to select layers
Choose Edit > Copy layers from the Canvas Layer Editor.
Select another canvas from the Canvas Layer Editor, or create a new one with Canvas > New canvas
Choose Edit > Paste layers from the Canvas Layer Editor.
The selected layers are pasted into the active canvas, above its original active layer, and remain selected. The names and relative positioning of the pasted layers is preserved.

To copy and paste layers into a different stage

Repeat steps 1-3 from above to select layers
Choose Edit > Copy layers from the Canvas Layer Editor.
Choose or import a different stage
Select a canvas on this stage through the Canvas Layer Editor
Choose Edit > Paste layers from the Canvas Layer Editor.
The selected layers are pasted into the active canvas, above its original active layer, and remain selected. The names and relative positioning of the pasted layers is preserved.
