Yes, but when you have 20 or 30 objects in a page, you just don't want to use the outline (you don't have object preview there) if you can just click. Outline is cool, even if it could be improved, but i guess it cannot take the place of a user-friendly feature, especially if it is not so hard to implement.<br>
<br>In fact, we should just wonder :<br>- how many user select by clicking<br>- how many select in the outline dialog<br><br>I guess the first. May be we you define the exact functional area of the outline. may be a UI discussion on this ?<br>

in vienna we have discussed the way the selection on multiple
layers<br>
works and we found it too complicated too use.<br>
<br>
our proposal is to just add a preference to say if the user
wants to be<br>
able to select items across the layers and then, allow the
selections:<br>
- on the current layer<br>
- on all non locked layers<br>
<br>
enabling the selection for each layer seems to be too
complicated<br>
to use and we think that a general switch should be enough.<br>

IMO not that's too complicated, just that you sometimes need
to spread "linked" objects among and that the need to move
them together is here. Some examples :<br>
<br>
- you have a link adress http of email and had created a PDF
link over it (on a new layer). If you move the text frame,
you'd like to move the link with it<br>
<br>
- you have pictures on a layer and text on another (practical
to manage sources and display, or manage same ressources for
several language document where you would make one layer /
lang. You would like to move them together too<br>

With the outline dialog you can do this...<br>
