Hi Alan,
Yes, this is my current workflow. The feature I was hoping for was to be able to highlight a larger range of layers (eg - select first layer and shift-select, or ctrl-select additioanl layers, or even drag down a list), and then toggle selectability of the entire selection. This would be instead of the current workflow of individually scrolling and clicking each individual layer.
An alternative would be a global toggle... so you could globally switch all layers from selectable to non-selectable in the advance view filter. In the case where I only want to be able to select a few layers out of the entire list, I could then globally make them all un-selectable, and then simply switch back the ones I want.
Thanks,
Stevie.
