Bug Description
I'm coming from an Adobe Illustrator background, and I really like Inkscape but one feature I'm really missing is the Layers window. In Illustrator, every object is displayed within the Layers window. I can navigate, organize, group, arrange, etc... items, their relationships, and hierarchal layout in Illustrator's Layers window.
The Layers window in Inkscape is a little confusing (to me anyway). From what I can tell, Inkscape has groups, and it has layers, but they aren't the same and are treated differently. I suggest moving away from this. Call them groups... or call them layers... but they would be the same thing.
For example, if I create two rectangles, then group them, nothing is displayed in the Layers window. I'd like the Layers window to display every object, in an object tree/hierarchal tree, and be able to move a parent object (and its children) up, down, and in and out.
So for example, if I create a new document, add two rectangles, then group them, I'd like the Layers window to display something like:
Group 1
Rectangle 2
Rectangle 1
I'd like to be able to rename the object from the Layers window, and I'd like to be able to drag and drop an item (and its children) in and out of groups.
Thanks,
Jeff
