show/hide other layers like in GIMP
Hi all!
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?
regards, Wojciech (Voytech) Ryrych from Poland
ps. sorry for my English

This indeed was discussed before in this list and considered useful. It's just nobody has implemented it yet so far :-)

The main problem is that the stock widgets we are using do not respond with details on shift. In fact, we don't get a base event at all if shift is pressed.
It might only take someone investigating the specific elements being used to see how to possibly wire in the right signals.

Hi Jon!
It's a pity that it hasn't been implemented yet, but I know, I know - this is FLOSS apporach, so I respect you. Even though I can't develop/program, I try my best to support Inkscape project somehow - currently my mission is to translate all tutorials from Help menu into polish. Anyway, Would anyone to implement this function (lock all others layers) as new entry in layer menu?
regards, Wojciech RRH Ryrych :)
