Hi Danny, well the idea for that was to try and have a type of basic filtering mechanism to allow for some combinations.

Like say you have a bunch of things with Style=Red and you want to hide just the red curves but not the red solids, and not any curves from other styles.

So one way you can make that happen is to go to the Style section and click the name label for Style=Red - that will select all the red stuff. (right click it if other things were already selected so it becomes the "isolated selection" and other things than red get deselected).

Now that you know that red stuff is selected you can go to Types > Selected, and now you can use the eye button for "Curves" there, and when you click it, it will hide only the selected curves, which you know are the red curves, so you have now hidden all red curves.

That was the idea for those 2 sub-sections under Types anyway.

I think that those will probably eventually get replaced with some kind of better filtering system in a future version though.


The "All objects" is different, it's just a simple way to hide/lock/select all objects instead of only those of a certain type.
