1. Re: Layer colour tagging bug
Howard Pinsky Apr 14, 2012 11:55 AM (in response to rproulxmtl)I can confirm this behavior. Whether it's 'as designed' or not, that I don't know. Double-clicking on the Smart Object shows that the tag is kept within the layer itself. It just doesn't reflect on the Smart Object in the Layers Panel. Let's wait for an employee to chime in.

2. Re: Layer colour tagging bug
Chris Cox Apr 14, 2012 12:54 PM (in response to Howard Pinsky)Yes, it is as designed. You are not converting the current layer - you are moving the current selected layers to a new document, then placing that document in the current document. You should not expect any layer properties to be maintained.

3. Re: Layer colour tagging bug
rproulxmtl Apr 14, 2012 3:47 PM (in response to Chris Cox)That might be what's going on behind the scenes. But I'm not sure most users will understand why adding a colour tag to a layer cannot be maintained when all they're doing is choosing to apply a layer option.
In my case I was organizing 20 small images on the canvas and found the colour tags very useful in that I could view and align/distribute various groups as per their assigned colour. I then decided that resizing was needed so I changed them all to SO's and that's when all the work I did assigning colours was lost. If the colour tag is being offered as a layer organization feature then it should be maintained when a common layer operation is performed.
Your explanation sounds as if converting a layer to a SO should also cause it to lose any name we've given that layer. But a layer name is not lost and remains intact. So why not the colour?
