Hi there, What about improving the layer filter by adding a ‘search’ field directly on the layer panel: [filter1] The user can type whatever he wants in it and on each keystroke: the panel gets updated and only shows the layers that have a matching sub-string in their names matching string port…

To further expand on the idea… I think it could also be cool if you can have a button to automatically add the search as a saved filter. I wouldn’t imagine it would take that much more work to do so.

Hi @jeffoulet , I’ve logged your wish ( https://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-56866 ), thought I pretty sure we’ve logged it before. If you are running the WIP, you will notice a “search” field starting to appears on some panels. The new Layouts panel and the Layer Sates panel come to mind…

Hi @dale , Thanks! I had a quick look to the WIP, and yes, the Layout panel ‘search’ field is exactly what I had in mind. Cheers
