It would be nice to have the ability to refine my selection from the Select Matching Layers button to a specific scope.

Ex: Select Matching Layers → Visible/In this frame/In this section/In this file

My use case might be unique, but I have many screens with many grids. By selecting a column header and then selecting matching layers, I would love to be able to limit that broader selection in a few different ways, so that the matching layers in one set of screens isn’t selected despite being matching layers (I don’t want to select them).

Not difficult to unselect what I don’t want if I zoom all the way out or generally understand what could have been selected after pressing the button, but I’ve seen this result in some unexpected changes occurring where I didn’t intend them to - only to discover this much later.

Hey @Connor_Lepre, thanks for the feedback!

We’ll pass this onto the team for future consideration.
