Normally GIF objects I create and add using CPE are higher than 1.? I recently created a large transparent GIF to cover a panel, and which I wanted to set to a level # above background objects and lamps I don't want to change with mouse-clicks, and below controls I do want to operate.? However, when I added the icon I couldn't manipulate it with CPE.? It dragged over but then disappeared.? By jumping to PE I could see it was set to layer 1 like CTC plates, and where I could set it higher than 1 so I can manipulate it with CPE which I normally use.
?
Which raises the question... how is the layer number assigned to icons placed in resource icon folders?? Why was this GIF set at 1 while the others are not?? Is this something I can change when creating GIF or after loaded in folder?
