If you draw everything in one layer like a traditional painting, you may not need Layer Folder. But most people draw elements separately in multiple layers such as “linework”, “fill”, “shadow”, etc. When you are getting closer to the completion, you may end up having more than 100 layers..!
If there are too many layers, it will be hard to organize.
Then, Layer Folder is convenient.
What is Layer Folder
Layer Folder lets you sort out multiple layers into several folders. You can expand/collapse Layer Folder so that it makes very easy to organize.
FireAlpaca will not let you select multiple layers to move and transform at once, but Layer Folder will let you move and transform multiple layers at once.。

Double-clicking Layer Folder lets you rename the folder. Naming the folder appropriately helps you to organize.
