QCad has an item (pro) called Layer States where the defined visible layers can be saved en block.  Is there any chance this might be on the horizon for LibreCAD?

PS I tried to add a key (Letter) to the layers I want to group and then tried to filter them but the filter is not a search function and is also case sensitive so it would not find my filters.

I managed eventually by adding ViewA at the end of the labels of the layers I wanted to group and then filtered for "* ViewA", however it is a bit cumbersome to do.  A neater solution would be helpful when there are so many layers (my drawing currently has 40).

PPS I have suffixed my Electrical layers "ViewA" and my Plumbing layers "ViewB" then my building outlines (Walls, Insulation, plasterboard) are given "ViewA ViewB ViewX etc."

I can then select "* View" (to see the entire subset) or "ViewA", "ViewB", ViewX, etc. to see more defined subsets with the outlines always present.  It works but requires a bit of planning and label changing.  An additional column in the Layer window that filters in the same way would be helpful.

PPPS This is not just a Mac issue!
