Well... IMHO the status bar layer stuff is very good and useful. I'm

using it all the time, and I'm the guy who coded up the actual layers

you select them. Thus I think it's still very appropriate for the

status bar.


After a second thought, I must agree with you! For a full usefulness all we 

need there is "hide everything but active layer" button.



Ooh. Sounds good.

Be sure to get an RFE entered to add that.

Though I'd not say "all we need," but rather "all we need to add" since I use it to see what layers things are on as I click on them, etc. Then I can know if I want to raise them up a level or down a level using keyboard or menu items (with no need to pull up the full dialog).
