Is there a way to make a shortcut for enable/disable preserve transparency for a layer?
I know you can toggle it, but I would like to have a separate keyboard shortcut to disable it, and a different one to enable it.

My problem is that I'm using it when drawing, so I can't look at the timeline to see if it's on or off. Now I always have to toggle it and there is a 50 percent chance that I have it right...

Other requests for me are still:
-Have the ability to make a keyboard shortcut to disable transparency for all layers
-Being able to draw on a layer when stencil is enabled for this layer (like in the previous versions of TVP)

Any information about these last two requests?

That makes sense, I'll add it to the list so it can be on the next update.

So, the same request as the one above, but that can be applied to all layers (regardless of their visibility)?
That shouldn't cause any problems I think.

This will be present in the next update

He Thierry.
Thank you so much!
It would help me A LOT!



Just to clarify myself:
It would be nice to have the option to disable preserve transparency for the current layer (this is the most important request), but also for all layers -> so this has to be a different action/keyboard shortcut (this request is less important if my first request would be implemented). And I think this also should work for invisible layers...

Hi Joost,

Regarding invisible/inactive layers, those two shortcuts may already allow you to (partly) achieve what you want

Thanks! I was one update behind. Gonna download it immediately.
I'm really happy with this one.
