The current scheme, if I understand it, works like this:
mirror | auto-mirror | result

0 | 0 | as shown on screen
1 | 0 | all layers mirrored
0 | 1 | as if you were looking at the finished pcb
1 | 1 | suitable for toner transfer, transparencies
Mmmm... to be more specific, it is as if you were looking at the top and middle
layers as made, but looking at the bottom layer from the back, not looking
through the translucent board material.
So what about an option button that covers both bits with those
descriptions?
It would be less confusing to have a layer name list as in your drawing, with
per layer option to mirror or not. Then also, if you were still in the mood
for GUI coding, offer use cases as check boxes that modify the state of the per
layer check boxes, (while also showing that state). And just drop the wording
auto-mirror altogether. It's more like assume-o-matic than automatic...
