Hide a layer instead of closing it

hi,

I have a simple question; is there a way to make one loaded layer invisible or hidden instead of closing it?

Because in my project there will be several layer opened in the same time, but it's very often needed to show only a certain number of layers. Later, of course, the user could make it visible again with a checkbox.

This way the work with the map could be faster, because opening and re-opening a layer needs a lot of time (we have layers in size between 100 and 400 megabytes).

Thanks in advance!
Zsolt

    In the newest v11.01 there is a keyboard shortcut. If you toggle V on and off you turn ALL the VECTOR-layers on and off. Not sure if it helps - but for me this is very usefull

    In the SDK, use GM_SetLayerEnabled to disable the display of a loaded layer without closing it.

    Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

    Thanks,
