Feature request: Toggle Selected Layers

Post by spiked » Sun Jun 28, 2020 8:25 pm

Hey Paintstorm team

When I'm illustrating I always start with a line drawing when I've got far enough along I turn it off and discard it.
But at the start of a painting I'm always toggling the line drawing on and off to see how it's coming along without the lines in the way.

In Photoshop I use a script to do this that hides everything with the word "hide" in the layer name when I press Ctrl H. This saves a load of time and makes the early stages much less tedious. Especially when the line drawing is made up of several layers.

It's quite a niche feature request I know, but if we could tag layers and then hide/unhide it with a specific shortcut that would be great for artists with a workflow like myself.

love the software, Keep up the great work!
Cheers

Not sure that understand, but you can draw something in another layer, set this layer as a reference and use "show/hide reference layer" hotkey

That works great, thank you. That's basically exactly what I wanted! I had no idea this feature existed.
