An error occurred while saving the comment There is a script you can use to di this:
https://aiscripts.com/delete-empty-layers-script/Also, there is a script-less solution, mentioned in comments on the page above:
1. Unhide every layer including empty layers
2. Ctrl+A to select all
3. Ctrl+X to cut it out
4. Flatten Artwork in the Layers panel’s menu
5. Check Paste Remembers Layers in this menu
6. Ctrl+F to paste as it was before, but without empty layers
This can be a heavy operation, so be careful.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Turning option off is not a solution, but workaround.
Well, if it is intended though, I can understand the logic about it, but I can't imagine the purpose of it, so I think it's still a bug. -

There is a way – let us know if this works for you.
- Select the object(s).
- Highlight the layer you want the selection to go to.
- Object menu or right-click > Arrange > Send to Current LayerAn error occurred while saving the comment Hm, strange, the Send to Current Layer routine works for me, the command is enabled. Anders, are you sure it does not? Can you record it, with the Layers in view and the menu?

An error occurred while saving the comment I don’t remember since when it is a part of Appearance, but it was not always like this.
And I know about this strange behaviour you demonstrate in the video below.Here is the thing (and I suppose it should be changed): you can drag the fill only when when the swatch in the item is in focus... in 'double' focus — and this is stupid. See, when you click an appearance item, it gets highlighted with blue, and the swatch (or rather a square that is filled with a color or pattern) gets
enlarged. But these two events are not connected! Start dragging an item by its blue bar, as if you are going to change the the order, and as soon as the cursor crosses the border, the square gets un-enlarged... and stays like if you release the mouse. And while it’s stays 'half-selected' like this — you can’t drag and drop it over an object on the canvas... So every time you start dragging an appearance item by the bar, it gets unselected. The only way you can drag it out to drop is to grab by the square... and only when it’s enlarged, so you have to click it again if it’s not before dragging... ridiculous, I know. And you can’t change an order of items by dragging a square (or an arrow on the left).Why the team decided to distinguish between 'order' and 'apply' operations, giving them different areas for grabbing — I have no idea. They don’t intersect, and totally would be easier to perform if it didn’t matter where to click.
Then, there is a trick. While dragging a fill you can hold Shift before dropping and apply a color you drag as a stroke instead of a fill... but the hint displayed if you wait says about 'alternate UI', which is actually about Shift-clicking on a a square to bring Color pseudo-panel instead of Swatches (and actually thay should have said exactly this and not 'alternate UI').
Finally, as you mentioned, there is no way to add a dropped fill/stroke as a new item. You can held Alt, but it changes nothing. The 'operation slot' exist, but they just don’t use it.
It all should be addressed.

An error occurred while saving the comment For anyone who wants this right now, please try AG Block Shadow tool from AstuteGraphics plugins pack. It feels and works exactly how we need it.
An error occurred while saving the comment I would better like this as a live effect. The most preferable way — is a tool that creates live effect, which ten can be edited.

An error occurred while saving the comment Tal, not sure what you mean. I can’t find the Replication tool in FreeHand. I know of Smudge (blend to a copy with attributes set), Extrude, but do not recall the one you mention. Do you have screenshots of it, or maybe the name is different (although I checked every tool)?
But I know of a plugin that matches your description quite well, maybe try it (the whole pack is marvelous) — Stylism by AstuteGraphics. It gives on-canvas control for native Transform Effect. Does it feel like the one you want?

An error occurred while saving the comment Vote for the the isolation bug I described here:
https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/44577894-select-all-in-an-isolated-group-selects-and-allowsAn error occurred while saving the comment This behavior also does happen if you try to lock or hide an object in a group, then isolate it and Select All. If you check layers, you’ll see that Illustrator targets all children (double circle markers) but not a parent (the recent fix), and selects all objects including the parent (big square markers).
If you try to move the selection, all objects get moved.
This is not what happens if we try to select objects on canvas, locked and hidden objects are ignored. Polls about expectations with further private questionings I made tell that some users are aware of it, and they are mostly power users that discovered it long ago, but most users expect locked/hide objects to stay in place — approximately 2 to 1.
There is another case that has a similar behaviour — artboards you can move and have objects on them moved as well, despite them being locked or hidden, and there is an option to toggle that — 'Move Locked and Hidden Artwork with Artboard' in Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display. We can target/select the isolated group and get a proper selection, but Ctrl+A still select everything, like the attached images shows.
Treat groups as a box: we open it (= isolate) and want to deal with things with it. Yep, we can move the opened box, but this is not the reason we open it, right?
An error occurred while saving the comment Yes, it happens when you click the square marker in the Layers panel to select the layer’s children, and then they all are draggable, regardless of lock/hide state. It's an ancient behaviour.
However, if you target a layer instead (the circle marker), Ai will select only those object that are not hidden/locked (thus ready for applying effects/attributes/whatever). This is actually still quite new, an if you have older CS versions, that is not how it worked there.
So if you NEED all objects in a layer selected, despite them being hidden/locked, — use the square selection marker.
And if you DON’T need them be be selected, use the target circle marker.
Because both workflows are useful.
And I agree this is not intuitive to grasp :) -

An error occurred while saving the comment I admit that something similar happened to me more than enough times, but when I try to replicate it, I fail. Jason, do you happen to have that particular file?

An error occurred while saving the comment Interesting. Turning Overprint on in Acrobat fixes displaying it white and render it green... on opening in Ai no traces of blend modes or overprint is seen.

An error occurred while saving the comment Can you please share the exact action you are using?
I can’t reproduce the problem for now.
This one about background blur should be upvoted too:
