@retrofitProductions Thank you for amazing LDX. It’s very useful.
My suggestion:
Maybe add menu or list for convenient controlling layers? Like on image
There is a ‘Layer’ window already, can you not see this?
From here you can add, delete, rename and move layers, and maintain all the objects within a layer.
No problem, a little difficult to use without the layer window
Also, in case you were not aware, it is possible to move these dockable windows about and even create tabbed windows by dragging one dock into another.

I finally got the time to test out Level Director X, but when I create a new project I can’t choose a project template or export template. Both of them are blank. Im using iMac with Sierra.
This is unfortunately caused by some new security features added to Sierra, which affects applications not purchased from the app store, where it scrambles folder locations.
Until I figure this out, there are some workarounds;
