Hi Rob, thanks for your feedback!

Yup, the idea is to do that with a right-click on the eye icon.

A left-click on an eye will just turn on or off that particular item, but a right click will hide everything else except that item, and a second right-click on it again later will turn all things back on again.

That will be called "locking", and I do want to have that but it probably won't be in this next beta with the first round of this stuff in it.

Not on quite that much of a roll! ;) That's going to take quite a bit of work to make instances function well, so I don't think it will be possible to get that in for v2.

I sort of need to the UI nailed down first so that I know how things should behave in MoI. Once that behavior is worked out then after that I can figure out how to map the mechanisms in MoI to what is supported in a particular file format.

So probably the next beta won't have this part working yet, but it will be happening before v2 is finished for sure.
