Locate a Locked Layer?


i've moment ran issue unable transform big group because contained locked layer.  document in question nicely structured (amazingly me ) , had 100 layers.  not able locate locked layer, because in nested group, couldn't see lock icon.  started trying use layer filters, of course, locked layers not 1 of options.  guess took me few minutes track down locked layer, work quickly, , sort of glitch disrupts workflow.

 

i worked out workaround.  twirl open group > select layers , groups > lock , unlock, , clears hidden lock.  or use smart objects instead of groups — can ft when contains locked layers, not appropriate project @ stage.  have liked know layer locked , why.

 

i'll make request on feedback site anyway, i'd interested on other people's take on this.

 

thanks

excellent feature request!

i don't know if speed things . . . can alt (win) opt (mac) click on little collapse/expand arrow next layer group , toggle showing layers , sub-groups within group.
