Suggestion: Save invisible layers to fast toggle them on and off

[meyerlor]

Hello, thank you for this great plugin! I m using it quite alot to keep my projects for the end-users clean and simple. One thing that would be a absolute great addition (as it costs alot of time), is to be able to fast toggle invisible layers on and of.

For example, i have many thematically ordered groups. In each of those groups there are some tables which i want to hide (e.g. "hard"coded labels or tables which are referenced but are not mappable). So each time i want to look something up in the attribute table of one of those invisible layers, i have to switch all layers to visible. Then i check the table and after that, i have to manually select all layers again which i want invisible. Then i remember i forgot something in (now again invisible layer XYZ) and i have to switch ALL layers visible again and after that inisible again. It would be awesome to "mark" all layers i want to have invisible and have a fast-switch button: Make them invisible or visible.

Using a "Black hole" group does not work for my case, as this would screw up the rendering order of my map

I m not sure if that is possible to implement, but i think this would be an great upgrade! :)

Hi, I'm glad to know that you use the plugin in your workflow.

What you suggest should be possible. Are you able to fund it? We could implement it soon.

hello gacarrillor, i m using qgis as a back-end software in the company i work for - i m not really in a position where i can decide about funding a project unfortunately :(

No worries. We'll leave the issue open in case someone else is interested in the idea.

By the way, you wouldn't be funding a project, but a single functionality of an existing project (plugin). :)
