This looks like a bug to me - we will look into it

Hi Doeke,

After looking into this in depth I found out that the Illustrator SDK broke the functions to get and set the selection state of layers, and there appears to be no way around this unfortunately.

But while looking for a way to fix this I found a workaround: The 'target' marker to mark multiple layers and items can be used instead (the two concentric circles to the right of each targeted line in the layers list):

I am adding support for items marked as targets (targeted items) to Sg now, both by using item.targeted, and the targeted: flag in document.getItems().

In fact, you can already use this now. The following code will return all targeted layers in a list:

var layers = document.getItems({
	type: Layer,
	targeted: true
});

And the property layer.targeted will be added in the upcoming release.

Ok thx,

I will use the workaround.
