What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a sketch with several parts and connecting lines on a prototype board.
2. Copy that board and paste it next to the original.
3. Select something on the copy and tell it to move to front or back.
Attach your sketch file and/or custom part files to the bug report.
Problem difficult to see in a static file, as it's how the app responds to
telling a part to move forwards or backwards in layers.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect the part I told to go backwards or forwards in layers to do just that.
Sometimes they move up or down in the layer. Sometimes they don't. Often many
other parts move up and down in the layers as a result of trying to move a
different part up or down. Very frustrating.
What version of Fritzing are you using? On what operating system?
version 0.8.7 on a Mac Laptop using OSX 10.6.8
Please provide any additional information below.
I find the whole layers control to be very frustrating in this version. Not
only do things randomly rearrange themselves in the layers, parts occasionally
disappear behind the prototype board. I feel the app needs a layers control
much more like Photoshop, where the user has control over exactly where parts
are in each layer and what layer is above what. For instance, there are times I
really need a part to be above a connector line, yet that's completely
impossible currently. I'd also love a layers menu where I could simply drag
each part to where I want it in the layers (like Photoshop). I waste huge
amounts of time and frustration trying to get a part to be above and below
where it needs to be, only to have it move higher or lower when I change
something else.
