Mental, to speed this up, can you try to describe what is _supposed_ to work already, so we could start testing those bits? I'm especially interested in the visible and locked toggles - can you enable them now and then continue working on the rest of it?
Creating layers and switching between them (using the old selector) should work currently. I'm going to have to
Actually, I've got the new layer selector to a point now where it's no more broken than the old one, so I've dropped the old one, but I've been unable to commit so far due to SF issues.
MOST of my time up until this point has been learning the new TreeView API. It's very nice, but very different from anything I've done in Gtk before. I think I'm finally over that hurdle now, anyway.
The big thing that remains to be done, as far as the layer selector goes, is updating the selector appropriately when layers are reordered, removed, or added (e.g. via the XML editor). There are of course also the cosmetic issues we've previously discussed.
For the remainder of issues, the entries in Roadmap should pretty much cover them. Anything with (DONE) on it should work now.
Something we do need to discuss is what "move to {prev,next} layer" should do. Should it move the current selection to the next/previous layer, or simply switch layers without moving the selection anywhere?
(in the latter case, it should probably unselect the selection, unless we want to drop the most-recent-selection-selects-current-layer rule)
Alternateively, should we have a separate arrangement for shuffling things beteen layers, or what?
