Hi all,
I just added an extra column in the LPE stack dialog. It shows whether an LPE is "visible" or not. (Corresponds to the "Is visible" checkbox in the parameters of an LPE) Have a look if it is not clear (just apply an LPE to a path and you'll see the eye icon next to the effect in the effect list).
I'd like to make a request for a better name than "visibility". It enables/disables the effect, instead of changing whether the path is visible or not. So perhaps it is better to change the naming to something like "active/inactive". In that case it is also better to change the icon's appearance to something other than an eye. Maybe a set of 2 gears (with a cross through them if deactivated).
Thanks! Johan

On that point I'd suggest looking through the Art Libre name list to see if anything more appropriate was on there. Also take a peek at GIMP to see what icons they have.

My thought was to use "active/inactive", then I read that you wrote that ;)
You might also use "applied", but I think "active" more clear.
As for the icon, maybe even something as simple as a green dot and red or grey dot would work nicely. They already exist in common icon sets, even, to demark the same idea.

Hi!,
I just added an extra column in the LPE stack dialog.
That's awesome! It's a great enhancement to the Stacking UI.
I'd like to make a request for a better name than "visibility". It
enables/disables the effect,
I like the Active/Inactive name. The gears may be a good idea, but they would have to be discreet because these buttons are not suppose to be eye-catching.
Oh and I've just seen the new LPE powered freehand shape tool, it's beautiful.
