I did also try the idea of using an "active" marker in a separate table column to indicate the active layer and that worked alright, but much less obvious and visible than using the selection highlight for this. It also added another column to the table which I'd prefer to keep to a minimum width so that the user has the largest available working space in the window. (The layers table and the content are side-by-side in a split view).
I've decided to go back to this approach, which avoids the problem altogether. I realised that using the highlight of the table to represent some state in my model is probably not such a great idea - it creates further problems like not being able to drag-reorder group items or pick up several items at once and dragging them into a group.
The extra space needed is a slight downside but i can live with it... I suspect you were simply waiting for me to realise this ;-) cheers, Graham _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
