Yes, good point. That sounds like a very useful feature. It could be
as easy as Shift-clicking on a visibility icon. That would make all
other layers invisible and this layer visible. If the layer was the
only visible layer already it would make all layers visible.
Interestingly, Xara 5 has extra buttons to make all layers
visible/editable, overriding the individual settings, but it does not
offer a way to make all (or all but one) layers invisible in one go.
