> You click on G ==> it becomes partially checked, and you restore StatePartial (ie A is unchecked and B is checked) [and earlier posts] I don't think I agree with this. I'll try to express how I would expect it to work: - the check state of a group is determined entirely by the check state

Hi all, Jumping in... Quite reluctant at first, I think it's indeed a very nice improvement. Matthias' idea is quite nice and turns off my concerns. I would prefer first approach (switching brtween partial and checked or unchecked) as I find it more intuitive and also more practical: one click

2016-11-15 Thread Even Rouault
Hi, I've been involved in discussions about improving/changing how visibility of layers (or groups) is handled when they are inside groups. Currently if you check/uncheck a group, this recursively checks/unchecks all its items (layers or sub-groups). There are workflows with large projects
