@rodnem I will as soon as I can find some time. Any other selection features that you think would make it more useful?

Hi, the command seems to not working anymore.

Here is my result "TypeError: doc. currentPage(). deselectAllLayers is not a function. (In 'doc. currentPage(). deselectAllLayers()', 'doc. currentPage(). deselectAllLayers' is undefined)
at selectLayersOfType_inContainer (/Users/A987SK/Library/Application Support/com.bohemiancoding.sketch3/Plugins/Untitled.sketchplugin:12:39)
at onRun (/Users/A987SK/Library/Application Support/com.bohemiancoding.sketch3/Plugins/Untitled.sketchplugin:23:31)
Script executed in 0.027800s"

does anyone have a solution ?
Thanks
