Selecting more than one layer at a time

Is there any way to select more than one layer at a time? (Even just for moving a selction of same type layers, rather than one at a time) drives me crazy that theres no 'shift-click'

Thanks

you can't select several layers.
but you can put together this layers inside a group layer (or inside a bone layer, which is actually the same thing, but with the plus of bones). then just move the group layer.

Yeah thought so, it was more about moving a bunch of layers that were already in a group into another group-but alas......

yes, i supposse there must be a very good reason to avoid select several layers.

Yes,

This is annoying in Photoshop as well.

I'm sure this is possible with some fancy script writing. In the standard version, however, there is no such tool to visually select points (or shapes) through several layers. It would be a nice addition to the toolbox, though.

i use Corel Photo Paint (included in CorelDraw), it's bassically the same that photoshop, but instead layers, you have objects. you can select all the objects you want.
for me, the software is a little better than photoshop. i really hate adobe programs. actually, i really hate many things.

Computer are dumb machines, not smarter than the smartest decision maker in a software company. Programmers can make a program more responsive and better suited for users, but then the policy makers come in and say that such things cost money and people will not pay for it. Eager managers can kill every good initiative by creative programmers.

That spells doom for Moho...
