Comment 3 for bug 911565

"Move the selections to a lower layer and hide it" is my current procedure, but it's a lot of clicking in the end.

Selecting no-ink objects by dragging around them is a useful tip -- I didn't know about that. Thanks! (I had tried turning off the "Ignore hidden objects and layers" selection preference, but I guess that only applies to ctrl-A? I could file a separate feature request to have a preference for selecting no-ink objects by direct click...)

I will look at the inkscape-slicer extension, too. Thanks again.
