**Issue Description:**after merging, scatters are moved to the default layer. This is irritating as we can’t move several scatter objects at once.
Screenshots/Videos Description:
Steps to Reproduce (optional):
Hello! Sorry for this, do you have a video or some screenshots for this issue. We may need more details to learn about the issue and solve it. 
It’s not a bug but rather an annoying behaviour.
I like to sort my files by layer and therefore I place my skatters and source surfaces (the surfaces upon which the skatters are placed) in the same layers. I also name all my skatters with coherent names.
Then, after a merge of two files, I realized that all the skatters are moved to the default layer, and I need to redispatch them to the correct layer, otherwise the object list is a huge and long mess (where the objects can’t be sorted by name for now).
And the skatters don’t allow the multiselection (with shift or control keys) and therefore I need to select them one by one and change the layer destination. a tedious job.
OK! I understand this. I think some related images or videos may be helpful.
The merging process took 20 minutes. I thought it was dead. 
the progression in % wans’t very meaningful as it stood blocked at 5% during 15 minutes and then suddenly it said 98% complete and then it took another 5 minutes to achieve complete merging.
