That's why I'd like > a "show all" button. In the GIMP, you can Shift-click the visibility toggle “eye” button to make only that layer selected (hiding all others) and Shift-click again to make all layers selected. I propose we implement this same feature. Question: Which layers would be hidden when a copper layer is made “solo-visibile” by being Shift-clicked? Usually you want silk, pins/pads, vias, etc. to still show but only hide all other copper layers.
