For 0.48 and 0.91 some of the suggestions in this thread on the forum might help to achieve a similar effect to selection sets:

In particular, the extension I attached to that thread sounds like it comes close, though the workflow for just showing and hiding some objects-serving-as-guides possibly isn't worth the effort.

Thanks Tav. I'm not familiar with "selection sets". Where can I find more info?
Sorry, they are only in trunk (under the "Objects" menu). I forgot that they aren't in 0.91.

I don't see anything on this page: http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Select.html although I m ight have overlooked something.

Oh, thanks for the info, Marc!
What about something like "guide sets" or "guide profiles" which would be distinct sets of guides which could be hidden/displayed individually? They wouldn't be associated with groups or layers, or anything.
TA :-)
You can effectively do this already by creating regular SVG paths that are tagged as part of a selection set. Create guide paths for each layer in that layer and then create a selection set for them. You can also create a selection set for all the guide paths in the document. Using the Selection Sets and Objects dialogs you can quickly toggle locking and hiding each set. Make sure to enable "Snap to paths" rather than "Snap guides"
