Bug ID: 415977
Summary: Feature request: Having to select both the frame and
the layer to edit a frame
Product: krita
Version: 4.2.7.1
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: Animation

Video of my problem
SUMMARY
When animating, to switch frames on a different layer, I have to select both
the layer and the frame on the timeline. Why cant I just select the frame and
it switch to the correct layer? So this is my feature request, a simplification
of frame selection. I cannot imagine a situation where you would want to
continue working on the frame you just deliberately clicked off of
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use more than one layer
2. Try to switch frames to a layer above by simply clicking the frame you want
to interact with
3. Note that theres not a dot on the frame because you didn't actually switch
off of anything. You basically just highlighted it
Attached is a video illustrating my problem
OBSERVED RESULT
What keeps happening is that I select the frame I want to work on, spend a good
bit of time on it, and then find out I was drawing in the wrong layer the whole
time. It is a huge wrench in my workflow because the way it works just isn't
intuitive. It has been several months now of this constantly being a minor
annoyance for me and even when I feel like I have taught myself to do it the
way that works I still forget sometimes and its obviously always an
inconvenience no matter the circumstance
EXPECTED RESULT
I click a frame and can work on it
