Automatically hide objects other than the selected object

NapperC

I want to hide the other layers except the selected layer. The H key only hides them. The CTRL+H key only makes the hidden ones visible. But I can't hide them again. I want to be able to automatically turn on and off the visibility of the other images except the selected one. Or their transparency can decrease. Is there such a shortcut key?

Spinebot

Currently, there is no specific shortcut key in Spine to automatically hide all other layers except the selected one. However, you can manually hide other layers by right-clicking the visibility dot of a bone, which will hide the bone and all its children. This action can be reversed by right-clicking the visibility dot again. Additionally, you can use the viewport options to hide bones and images without affecting the selection. This feature is on the roadmap for future updates, as indicated in the GitHub issue #604.

I've added your +1 to the issue Spineboy mentioned:
EsotericSoftware/spine-editor604

And while waiting, here's a neat trick to get you exactly what you want:

Right click on the visibility dot of the slot you want to be alone, you're hiding it for now.
Right click on the visibility dot of your skeleton. This will hide all of your skeleton
Right or left click on the visibility dot of your skeleton again. This will reveal only that slot you previously hid!

Erika If this feature is added, it would be very useful because I felt the need to use this feature while working. Thank you.

I also have a question. I reviewed the link you provided. It seems that the first topic was opened on September 22, 2021. Now it's 2024, so 3 years have passed. Does having more "+1"s on the page you provided mean it gets higher priority? I'm curious because I don't know how the system works.

Doesn't work for me. After the step 3 I just get the skeleton back as it was after step 1, with that single slot hidden and all the rest showing.

Fabiano You might be left clicking instead of right clicking. It should behave as follows:

Ah I see, it's not working when the Tree view is filtered to show only slots. It works when there's not filter active. Can you try it and confirm it's that?

Erika

Fabiano I confirm it doesn't work if you try to hide the skeleton with a right click while the filter is active.
