Currently in SVN wersion a new feature concererning the layer menu appeared. Namely: show/hide show/hide other layers. In my opinion this is a half success. Layer menu should have features like in GIMP and its comfort. Sometimes I have to switch off visibility of great numer of layers. This is not comfortable doing it by hand. In GIMP using Shift key we have opportunity to hide/show layers. Shouldn't it be in Inkscape? One combination: Shift+click on eye icon, shows/hides others; Shift+click on padlock icon, locks/unlocks other layers. None menu is needed.
I'd love to see this feature soon, but this is opinion only a humble Inkscape user. :) What's your view?
This indeed was discussed before in this list and considered useful. It's just nobody has implemented it yet so far :-)
