It would certainly be possible (and very, very easy) to write an extension that hides everything but the selected object. For unhiding, the 'unhide all' item in the Edit menu can be used.
Likely I will try this! My first plugin attempt.
- For getting started, you can take a look here: https://inkscape.org/en/develop/extensions/
(the easiest way to write a new extension is by using an old one that does something similar, and then modifying it - mind the licence, though, if you make derivatives.)
Thanks for the great tips..
Also, is there a way to see a list of all the objects (or sections) and scroll through them... This program here has it (made a screenshot):
http://z505.com/images/svg/svg-object-list.png
Again, not sure what the correct term for it is.. an svg image is composed of several "objects"? Or sections? or elements? or svg's? Or "parts".
- It's indeed called the 'objects dialog' ;-), and it's new in Inkscape 0.92: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/0.92#Objects_Dialog (find it in Object -> Objects...)
Unlike your screenshot, it doesn't show miniature versions of the objects themselves, though. It shows the objects' label (an Inkscape specific name, which needs not be unique, and can only be used in Inkscape), and some options for hiding, locking, highlight color, blend mode...
Objects and elements are both fine, I think, for terminology. At least everyone here will understand you, if you use these terms for items in an SVG image.
