These would be easy enough to add to the widget. Just tack an `All Layers' entry below the other non-selectable entries. Whether there would be demand for this, I don't know. Would it affect the pins, pads and via layers? Would it affect the solder mask layer? Why would you want to hide everything? I don't expect there would be enough of a consensus on these questions. > * Layer visibility memory - this would have a Store button and a > Recall button.

We have the ability to store layer-specific attributes, which is exactly where things like color and visibility should go. -- Andrew Poelstra Email: asp11 at sfu.ca OR apoelstra at wpsoftware.net Web: http://www.wpsoftware.net/andrew/ _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
