for an ongoing project it would be incredibly helpful for me to have a way to control the visibility of objects, even if they are structured in groups.
What I mean: Object 1 on layer 1 Object 2 on layer 2 Both objects grouped and this group on layer 3
If I only deactivate layer 1, object 1 disappears (2 remains visible) If I only deactivate layer 2, object 2 disappears (1 remains visible) If I only deactivate layer 3, both objects disappear because the group is on layer 3.
Is this or a similar function possible with Inkscape (possibly using plugins)?
Okay - thank you very much! That's exactly what I was searching for!😀 I will see if performance is a problem - in my usecase for this I don't have that much objects to deal with.

Hello, everyone,
for an ongoing project it would be incredibly helpful for me to have a way to control the visibility of objects, even if they are structured in groups.
What I mean:
Object 1 on layer 1
Object 2 on layer 2
Both objects grouped and this group on layer 3
If I only deactivate layer 1, object 1 disappears (2 remains visible)
If I only deactivate layer 2, object 2 disappears (1 remains visible)
If I only deactivate layer 3, both objects disappear because the group is on layer 3.
Is this or a similar function possible with Inkscape (possibly using plugins)?
I hope I have expressed myself clearly.
Best regards
Christian
You can use the Objects dialog, in Menu: Object>Objects. If you have a complex design, it can slow down the operation of Inkscape.
