      if you right click an object in the outliner, you get loads of options of what to do with the model (lock, hide, copy... all sorts of things)

      but in the layer window, you can't even open a context menu.

      I would really love to see options like Select All Layer Content or Lock All Layer Content

      that would come in quite handy sometimes, don't you think?

      what else could be a useful funktion in the layer right click menu?

        thanks, Matt666.

        the layer selection works perfectly fine. but the layer lock affects more than the entities in one layer.

        however, what I ment, was to right click on a layer within the layer windowto get these options.
        thus the normal context menu is not extendet by even more entities and you have these options directly where you need it - right there, where you navigate through your layers...

        but I am afraid, ruby doesn't give you that kind, does it? πŸ˜•

          Yes. But we can re-write the layer window... Why not ? πŸ˜‰ The problem is I never try to write a html window... 😲

          When a component in a layer is into a component with the layer of the selection, component inside is inaccessible... A component instance may have entities on several layers...

          But there was a bug and it's fixed in the first post.

            Pending the update... ^^
            Tell me what kind of options you would like to have, I will see what i can do...

            EDIT : You can lock just Components and Groups. the right-click menu for locking layer content is activated only if it contains these kind of entities.
