Just checked that on PC
-Open a filter, for example filter > sharpen >sharpen.
-Hold shift while pressing the "create layer" button.
I got a child layer, seems to work. The behavior is different when you use "layer > adjustment layer...".
That brings up an old topic again
Why are filters disabled for vector layers, text layers and groups? A small change to the UI could enable them and also could get rid of the difference between filter... and adjustment layer...
Ah, that makes sense - I was trying that with the adjustment layer button in the layer panel. In my opinion these little things should be consolidated across the application: I mean, if you get a child adjustment layer by clicking with <shift> on the menu item, I would expect that to also work with the adjustment layer button.
And yes, you are correct: it is quite odd to see that the menu filters are unavailable for vector shapes, text, and groups - they do work when the user chooses to apply adjustment layers through the layer pane. Very inconsistent.
Another thing that drives me crazy sometimes is that the lasso tools are unavailable for those type of layers. Often I need to create a merged copy of part of the canvas that only consists of vector layers, and the selection tools remain unavailable then. Only by adding an arbitrary /temporary bitmap layer and selecting that can we force Photoline to display the selection tools.
Not a huge inconvenience, but still somewhat awkward.
