FS#766 - Layer List: Add "Lock All Layers"

To improve useability/efficiency I would like to propose the following changes/additions to the layer list:

1) Combining the show and hide button into one button.

Clicking once will hide all layers, clicking again will show them all again.

2) A “lock/unlock” button.

Clicking once will lock all layers, clicking again will unlock them all again.

Regarding the icons I suggest that instead of show both the black and grey version of the eye/lock, you could switch between them depending on the state the switch-button is in. Also the mouse-over-text could/should change with the state.

Yes this would be useful if you are working with lots of layers, its got my vote!

Could we add a third function : restore selected layers before the first click ?
Good idea.

It would be a nice feature but I have my reservations.
What should the function be of the 'Show/Hide All Layers' button when some are shown and some not?
That counts for locking too. ;-)

Mathieu's idea is feasible with Layer States.
And that is a user preferences, if you want an older Layer State back then you need to store that first.
