Don't get me wrong, I love free software and enjoy using Gimp for web design but I still miss better functions for managing layers.
Something that I miss from my Photoshop days is being able to group layers as sets, very useful when I'm creating a web layout and want to hide many layers that form a navigation menu. With layer sets this would require just one click; with Gimp I need to click each layer to hide it.
I'd also like a remove hidden layers feature. I found a script for doing this with older versions of Gimp but it does not work with Gimp 2.6.
What else do you think we need for improving layers management in Gimp?

I agree layer management
I agree layer management sucks.
Remove hidden layers script
The script has a syntax error in line 35.
wrong: (hidden-layers)
right: (hidden-layers '())
Afterwards it works in GIMP 2.6 (never tried in 2.4)
I fixed line 35 but still
I fixed line 35 but still have errors.
Windows pop-out with these messages:
1st window:
Execution error for 'Delete Hidden Layers':
Error: eval: unbound variable: cadr
2nd window:
Plug-In 'Delete Hidden Layers' left image undo in inconsistent state, closing open undo groups.
Do have any idea?
Thanks in advance.
(I used Windows XP, by the way)
