Hi mushroomgod - yeah I definitely agree that a right-click on the hide should be leveraged.

But I just want to make sure I understand correctly - clicking twice on the button will end up doing a "show all" (show all hidden objects so nothing is hidden anymore) which is different than what you are talking about, is that correct?

You mean making the right-click do what could be called an "isolate selection", which hides everything else but keeps the selected objects visible?
