If i had a segmented selection, is there a way to identify that the selection is not one concave shape?
i could then identify them and put each of them into different layers.

All these different shapes are  in one layer, and I've selected the active pixels in the layer.

Is there a way to identify that they are separate them objects into separate them into different layers?

      Yes it should be possible.

      I am not sure if can see it from DOM, in DOM are some things simplified, but in Action Manager code you can see:

      - layer > shape > closed paths > points > x,y coordinates

      Sometimes one shape can contain multiple squares as closed paths.

      Sometimes layer can contain multiple shapes with only one closed rectangular path.

      Or both.
