add ability to sort layers with Layer Styles enabled
would be better we could sort different kind of layer styles effects like: outer glow, inner glow, etc.

https://puu.sh/D64EQ/507f27b4b8.png

Si on active le mode solo sur un groupe dont les layers sont masqués, le solo bouton de dugr reste bloqué en rouge, et il faut fermer et rouvrir dugr à pkusieurs reprises sinon l'interface ne répond plus.

Meaning "imported footage", i.e. excluding solids & nulls

Or find a way to have only one panel
Or remember last used panel

Add more layer types to select in the timeline.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to have more media types to filter layers in the timeline. A new category could be "Media" which might include options to select Photoshop files, vector images, raster images, video files, C4D files, image sequences, or EXR.

after using the remove group button,the script panel frezee
then I close the script panel and reopen ,it shows me the error "Unable to execute script at line 898. Execution halted"

In the group section between the icons “Add selected to groups“ and “Remove selected from groups” the one with the question mark does not invoke the tool tip on mouse over. Please see attached screen capture.

Hello I would first like to congratulate you for the nice work with the plugins!
i would like to suggest that we can add fx directly to the created groups, i believe this option would be awesome (this for DUGR)
another option that I really get frustrated with after effects is not being able to manage the layers in an animated way, I mean, it would be amazing if we could animate that a certain layer is above another certain layer, and be able to change the order that which layer would be above which one with keyframes for inversion control, maybe no one will read this.. I don't know, but if anyone reads, there's an idea for a possible new plugin for development by you from rainboxlabs. tnx guys!

I ask this mainly to have a bigger space for groups.

I think this line is required, so it is good as it is

But I personally wouldn't use this line, so having an option to hide it would be nice.

I think this line can be hidden as well. We can choose a default in settings (prop. or groups) and hide the line.

Lastly, this is a minor thing, but I think it would be better if we can remove default groups.

Thank you for the tool : )

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. create a new comp
2. duplicate several solid and/or shape layers
3. open dugr and switch to the properties tab
4. select the "all layers" option in list below
5. select the "select" layers icon in toolbar
6. no layers are selected

Expected behavior
Expected all layers in the comp to be selected

Screenshots and other details

Environment (please complete the following information):

• DuGR version: Latest
• After Effects version: 2020
• OS version: Win10

At the moment you have to select a layer in Dugr, and press the wanted action to get what you want. (2 clicks.)

Instead of this, could it be possible to keep the selected action active (f.ex. isolate selected groups). Then if you press a layer in Dugr, it would show immediately on the timeline. The isolate selected group (or whatever action you choose) would be active all the time and i could just browse through my layers in Dugr. (with 1 click)

Bug Report

Environment

• DuGR 5.1.0
• Windows 64 10.0
• After Effects 23.5x52

Report

There is an issue creating groups for Duik Structures and Controllers. I believe it may have something to do with way Duik adds markers to the Structure and Controller layer and the new way Dugr adds markers to the group layers.

It seems that the choice of UI mode does not take effect immediately. I have to close and reopen the panel to see the preference executed.

V 4.0.0 Mac OS 11.5 AE 17.7.0

Dear Nicolas!

First of all thank you for all the hard work that went into reimagining DuGR. It is quite powerful. I like the many options users can choose from.

The icon navigation is great but I think it could benefit from being a bit more spaced out. Especially with the type under certain icons the room gets too tight and adds visual tension.

Also a clearer division between the horizontal icon groups would help the user differentiate things more. I think the top and middle icon group could also benefit from a justified alignment.

The »x« (exit isolation) in the top row is a little off.

Is it possible to use the old Create Group, Delete Group, Rename group buttons and placement from Dugr 3?
The Create new group Pop Up on Dugr 4 to me takes more steps.

Dugar 4 Steps
1.You have to click the create new group button
2.then click the name field.
3.Name group
4.Click Ok Button

Dugar 3 Steps

1. Click the new group name field
2. Name group and press enter key

I think the placement on the bottom is a better place as well.

Especially with lots of layers

Add possibility to select layers

• Parented to another layer

• not parented

• children(s)

• no children

Well, currenty it's a bit too 🐱‍👤 mode maybe, as I can use the Select Layers function and apply other DuGR functions on those layers, but I would prefer the layers being visibly selected in the timeline, too. 😅

Thanks Duduf for working on v4! 🙏

Before submitting:

• Please try to reproduce the bug in "Dev & Debug mode". You can activate this mode in the settings panel (wrench icon at the bottom of the panel), and click on the "Normal mode" button to switch to "Dev & Debug", then click "Apply", close and re-open the panel.
  -> not possible because panel crashes on load before debug mode can be enabled

Describe the bug
After Updating from DuGr 4.0.2 panel crashes on load with the following message: "Unable to execute script at line 10676. null is not an object"

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
After checking if the bug occurred on a different Installation of AE (which it didn't) I found that removing the DuGR_settings.json file will ensure normal startup of DuGr.
DuGR_settings.zip

Expected behavior
DuGr Panel loads

Screenshots and other details

"Unable to execute script at line 10676. null is not an object"

The settings file generated by 4.0.3 looks quite different from the one that was used by 4.0.2 (I'm using DuGr for a while now, so I'm not sure which version generated the settings file initially.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• DuGR version: 4.0.3
• After Effects version: 22.2.1
• OS version: Windows 10

Additional context

The whole interface is gray, you can't understand the layers with the naked eye. It would be nice if the layers had color.

Renaming layers.

At the moment, when renaming layers in dugr, you have to write the name into the Dugr text field (default: New group...) and then press re]- button. It could be easier and more intuitive to use the system AE uses, click the layer and press enter.

Making new layers.

It could be possible to name it after you've made the group. So you would select the layers you want into Dugr group and press "create new group".
Dugr creates the group and leaves the name active (or makes a default name, new group1) So you could name it directly after creation.
(If not named it would stay new group1. If you make another group, it would be New group2)

Remove alerts when creating groups

see http://forum.rainboxprod.coop/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=33

There are certain type of layers that are merely technical and I want them banned from my view, forever. Perhaps it would be nice to count with a category or a type of group that remains "as is" when it´s marked, no matter how many filters or dynamic groups you activate or deactivate. Some sort of "IGNORE THIS" tag, and can only be showed by specifically referring to its group.

Pressing the secondary icons (eye, solo, lock, etc) for new groups doesn't work on layers added to the group. Using AE 18.4.0(Build 41)

The clickable area of the Remove selected Groups button is really tiny. Only the 2px thick area can be clicked. But sometimes, when I hover the mouse from the buttons next to it, the clickable area seams normal. Really strange.

Thanks for your feedback!

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
lets say i have 6 text layers, 3 of them are not visible
now I can filter them out by choosing "type:texts" , showing 6 text layers
but can not filter the texts layer which are not visible, that 3 layers.

Describe the solution you'd like
now the list can be multi-highlighted, just show layers which only fit with highlighted conditions?

with these setting, will show only that 3 visible layers i think.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It would be great if there was a setting to autoselect layers.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to click on a property type and have Dugr select the layers automatically instead of having to click the Select Layers icon.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Setting the interactive mode (sticky) is close to what I want, but many times I just want to select the layers without isolating them.

Additional context
Thank you for your consideration.

add a setting

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There are other unique layer properties that would be a great addition to Dugr.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would love to see additional filters to select layers. The additions would be layers at the CTI, layers that are within the preview range, layers that have a mask, layers with a matte, and layers with keyframes.

Describe alternatives you've considered
The combination of settings in Dugr now doesn't allow for the options mentioned above.

Additional context
Thank you for your consideration.

please add group sorting function, groups are always shuffled order on reboot

Hi, i would like to suggest a function for DUGR
Add subgroups to be able to select them individually
