Is there any future plans to support group layers?
None that I know of and there is I think a good reason for this. When you use layer groups you are using blend modes and compositing doesn't mix well with indexed colors. When going indexed you limit your image to 256 colors. With layer groups you would need colors for the layers plus colors for the group (that behaves like a layer) which may not be in the sub-layers colors if these sub-layers have a partial opacity. So after you have converted the sub-layers to approximate colors you blend these, giving you an absolute color which is already not quite what it should be, and then you approximate this one again with a color in the color map. And of course you can't use dithering because the compositing of dithered layers will give unpredictable results. And then you would do compositing between the groups. Not a pretty sight.
