Mike, had a quick look. simplest approach might be just editing AbstractLayerable.isEditable() to always return boolean sum of editable && visible, no? all layerables i know are based on AbstractLayerable.
plugins probably all use TreeLayerNamePanel.chooseEditableLayer() *but* do not have to. so there is a slight chance that code would edit the layer anyway, because it still sees it as editable and didn't use the chooseEditableLayer() to retrieve it. ..ede On 18.10.2016 21:23, Michaël Michaud wrote: > Hi all, > > Thank you for your feedback, > > I made a second attempt to solve the problem in a more conservative way > (r5083+). > > Instead of making invisible layers uneditable, I changed the method > chooseEditableLayer used by most editing tools so that it does not choose > invisible layers any more. > Now, you can let invisible layer editable, but editing tools will never use > it until you make it visible again. > > Let me know what you think, > > Michaël > > > Le 18/10/2016 à 15:06, Stefan Steiniger a écrit : >> >> I think I somewhat agree with Jukka.
