Very Nice! Pity it doesn't work with bitmap images. You can't make a placeholder out of the compound shape (that I know of).


Selecting individual objects is not easy though.


You only get the Grabber/Pointer cursor when over an object, can't lasso objects. At least no way I have found, which makes it awkward to gather up a lot of objects without shifting something accidentally.

"Evenly" will spread them out in a line connecting the first and last.


I can't get them to all line up horizontally/vertically if they were spread out both horizontally and vertically:
