    Hi there,

    my name is Alex and iΒ΄m a new Inkscape user. Please excuse my bad english πŸ™‚

    My question is following:

    I have different layers with many objects inside.

    1. I select 10 objects inside one layer and hide them using the context menu (right click on "hide selected objects")

    2. Now i want to unhide these 10 objects. But if i select the same 10 hidden objects and open the context menu there is no entry like "unhide seleced objects"

    Can yo help me?

    Thank you very much and kind regards

    Alex

    Open the Layers and Objects dialog [shift+ctrl+l] to show a list of objects in your drawing. Objects selected in the canvas are highlighted in the list. Use [ctrl+click] in the list to add and remove objects from your selection. When you hover over an item, several icons are revealed. Click the "eyeball" to hide or unhide the selection.

    Maybe try the "Layers and Objects" panel:

    Hi,

    Paddy_CAD and Polygon, many thanks for your answer.

    @PaddyCAD @Polygon:

    I always use the Layers and Objects dialog. In this dialog i also hided the objects. When i select the hided objects (same situation on Polygons picture) and i click on one of the eyeball, only this objects will be unhided. IΒ΄m searching for a way to unhide all the selected objects with one action.

    Thanks and again

    All selected items will be affected by this toggle:
