I guess instead that much better should be a group checkbox that enable/disable the under childs layer.

This allow OFF the actual configuration or ON that same configuration.
Actually the group checkbox when checked put ON all the layer.
This often is mean too much information .

Instead the mutual exclusive need to choose only one.
And in that case disable and ri-enable will reput the same original clayer.

    metadata. Later on we may also have clipping and masking on

    we really should have an extensible mechanism for groups as new group

One thing I'd love to see is the ability to make the layers in a group "mutually exclusive". (ie, imagine radio buttons instead of checkboxes for controlling the visibility of layers within that group). I find I'm often going through a process of switching one layer on, then switching a bunch of other layers off for comparison purposes. A mutually exclusive layer group which automatically switched the other child layers off when I select a layer would make this process much nicer!

+1 for this feature from a frequent user!

Best,
Vincent.
