<div dir="ltr">That sounds problematic for grid and layout slices: although you could adjust the child's x/y so that it doesn't move, all the other children would, and if you similarly adjust all of their positions so that they don't move either, well, the result is quite absurd. It would be a far better idea to instead implement z-ordering of slices, which could be used to cause one child to appear above the others, as well as an incredibly diverse array of other uses. I want to implement that but I think "z-ordering" is a problematic name, and I'm not sure how/whether it should interact with existing walkabout and BattleSprite Z and slice autosorting.<br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, 13 Sept 2022 at 22:02, James Paige <<a href="mailto:Bob@hamsterrepublic.com">Bob@hamsterrepublic.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto">I was tempted to also make "gently" versions of the commands like "slice to back" or "move slice above" but didn't get around to it.

Add "gently reparent" command, alternative to "set parent" but that preserves screen position<br>
<br>
This is similar to how slices are reparented in the slice collection editor<br>
