Groups/folders for layers

I agree, this would be very helpful. As I enjoy using the program, although it's difficult as a single sprite for me can take up 5-20 different layers, and that's only for one view for my character sprite (I have 3 more views to work on, in the same file). Also being able to turn toggle the view, and manipulate all the files within a folder would be great. As I'm currently having to move them all separately.

I just can join the plea for this option! It would make the workflow even smoother!

Yeah, folders would be very useful
this is the only feature that I look for that isn't in the program, haha

Was just going to create this request... it's a major problem to me as I'm used to work with tons of Layers and love to have different Characters in one file :)

+1 should most probably give a more relaxed feel when theres a mass of layers going on since they'll all seem so packed, organized and just, NICE :smile: 

Sorry for the bump, but I've recently been working on character sprites with multiple outfits,
Layer folders would make the process 1000x better, as I currently have multiple layers for head, torso and legs all in the same document, its a bit cluttered having to scroll up and down through the list of layers

+1 for this. Thanks!

This is an excellent request, and something that would really help out! And i would even like to add to this idea.

Export 'Folders as separate files', just like how it can now do layers as separate files.

Working on a project in which the player, their weapon, armor, helm, shield and other gear are separate files, i came to the issue that it's much easier to animate the player in layers (front- and back arms and legs, torso, head, tail, etc.), but this eliminates the option to export layers as files, because it'd also chop up the poor player sprite!
