Right, that's the problem here. My take is to ignore the layers in that case and put the grouped 
objects all together on the target layer. Simplicity first, meaning it's weird if we automatically 
create layers. If users need to keep the structure we have to implement an extra function but my 
advice is to copy the layer(s) with grouped objects and delete unneeded objects. That brings me to 
the requirement of multi-selection of layers.
