When I place cards on the Freeform corkboard, I often have them overlapping each other. This means the z-ordering or layering of cards matters, e.g. so I can see all titles or synopses even when they overlap.
But then I need a way to change the z-order of the cards, separately from selecting or moving a card. Scrivener does not distinguish these, and as soon as I select a card it pops to the top of the z-order.
e.g. make 3 cards, place them overlapping each other.
Now drag-and-select all three, but start each drag-and-select from a different point (e.g. top-left of the 3 cards, or bottom right of the 3 cards). The cards get selected (good), but the ordering may change (not so good).
I’m not quite sure what you mean - if you drag-select and then drag to move some cards, the order should always stay the same. Can you please provide steps to reproduce?
Yes, though Selection really cannot automatically mean change-Z-order if Z-order is important.
I might want to move an individual card a bit. The only way to move it is to select it. If that changes Z-order then I have to re-do all overlapping cards.
