It'd be nice to treat linked svg like a sub layer too.

I remember you were talking about it showing even down to individual objects if you expand the tree.

I'm leaning away from that now after our last conversation on the topic (some time ago). Among other things, selection of layers (sets the current layer) is very different to selection of objects (selects objects).

I think what I want to do at this point is to do a traditional layers dialog that just does layer-ish stuff, and then rework the XML dialog to provide both "XML" and "SVG Object" views.

I just wanted to follow-up on this as I had been doing some print work in Illustrator this morning and checked their layers dialog. As of at least AI 10 you can expand the layers down to groups and groups down to objects, etc (and of course continue expanding groups if there are more nested in there). I know we don't follow Illustrator by any means, but the more I think about it, it does make sense to expand down that far in the layers dialog. I think it makes more sense since we are now going to have to work with sub-layers in that dialog anyway (which will already require a tree view since there is now UI to create sub-layers). Just an updated .02 ;)
