I think that would make a lot of sense from a usability perspective, or grey out related options (reference, value) when set.

This only turns it off when viewing the board, correct? It will still be included in the plot output if the actual text is marked "Show" in the dialog.

    We could have the Footprint Text control act as a visual override
    for the Values and References controls to make this more clear...


Can we link these controls so that changing the "Footprint Text" visibility changes the "references" and "values" visibility, but those two can still be changed separately? (e.g. to allow showing only the references text from footprints).

        I am working on a PCB with PCBNew from a couple days ago.

        I can't see the references. Silkscreen is on and the little
        eye is open but the references don't show up.

        If I edit a reference it is on the right layer and show is
        clicked.


        What am I doing wrong?
