Hi!
I've come to the conclusion that integrating functionality from
the buttons window into the manager window is not the way to go.
Please take a look at my new approach:

The timeline could have multiple scales: frames, seconds and
musical durations (should come handy for dance animation and
music videos).
And I'm thinking about solo functionality.
With audio sequencers all channels have mute and solo buttons.
Setting a channel to solo mutes all other tracks, but you can
set several tracks to solo. Turning off all solo leaves all
channels in previous settings (mute-state is never lost).
Often enough I would like to set an object (or a small group)
to solo.
So there could be solo and mute buttons instead of simple
visibility. Alternatively there could be one big solo button,
hiding everything that is not currently selected (or even not
currently activce).
I would like to hear everybody's opinion on this.
