Hey
I'd be happy to be able to "clean the project view" by hiding all hidden clips with a switch

oh this would be really really useful. Something like the "shy-toggle" in After Effects, which works for all deactivated layers.

Best,
I remember implementing a similar "focus" function, that is available when you right click the visibility button :

Currently it works with the color groups only :

We can imagine a toggle function "hide inactive layers / show inactive layers" ... but I'm afraid it would disturb the beginners !
They'd be frightened because they lost half of their layers
Maybe functions like this stay hidden until the user has worked 100 hours with TVPaint ... you have to play your way up to this level ... (just kidding)

I actually was talking about hiding clips, not layers. Kind of what happens in the "timeline/editing" view actually, in the project view. You see only the visible clips
Because when working on a storyboard, I usually end up with a lot of hidden alternate shots I don't what to delete but my project view gets filled up pretty quickly
I think it could also be nice for layers but we would need a little warning icon somewhere to not forget they are hidden (could be an icon next to the "eye" icon at the top of the layers, would be a simple toggle to hide completely hidden layers)
For the clips, the icon could be next to the icons on the left (could be colored in green or orange or something when active)

following this thread i agree it would be very usefull to easily hide all layers that are inactive
And i would vote to add a "focus on active layers" function next to the already present "focus on current colorgroup"
maybe you can highlight the eye icon in the layer panel with some red to alert the user that this is active?
