	Looking at the code in LayerGroupTree.cpp, it looks like the intent for groups was to allow groups of layers to be editable in otherwise locked frames, judging by the code that's commented out....

		+	The remove from group option does work for me now in Synfig 0.62.0. Edited the wiki to reflect this. Anyone still having issues with this? --[[User:Rylleman\|Rylleman]] 12:10, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

 : What do you mean?  Are you talking about the checkboxes here?  If so, I can see two possible meanings for the checkboxes in the group dialog (1) as mirrors of the checkboxes in the layer dialog, namely whether the layer is disabled or not and (2) whether the layer is currently a member of the group or not, ie. a quick way to temporarily exclude a layer or group of layers from its parent group. -- [[User:Dooglus|dooglus]] 02:37, 19 December 2007 (EST)
 Just my humble opinion...  BTW Genete - I'm puzzled by your comment "For the moment the "Remove Layer from a Group" right click menu is not working. So, if you really need to remove a layer from a group you should add it to a dummy group and delete the dummy group if you want. Or simply let the layer in that group with no use. " Right clicking and selecting remove layer from group works for me in both the layer and group dialogs.  Removing the last layer in the group also deletes the group.   [[User:Pxegeek|Pxegeek]] 18:55, 18 December 2007 (EST)

 # Also, the checkbox for the group can't be toggled - I'd expect it to allow you to toggle the checkboxes for all layers in that group by toggling the group checkbox.  Right now, it only reflects a check if all the layers are checked on the layer dialog.
