Would be much more convenient if the layer's blending mode, and transparency options were available from the layer's contextual menu, as opposed to having to mouse down to the bottom of the layers panel, just to alter either of them.
Ah, right right right – understood. I know we tried to find a place at the top of the Layers sidebar for those controls in the 2.0 update, but it didn't stick. Maybe we'll be able to do something in a future update.
