Option to toggle on/off bodies separetely

Post #1by Cham » 23.07.2007, 04:11

There is some inconsistency in the preferences panel : We can toggle ON/OFF the stars, galaxies and nebulae separately, but we can't do the same with the planets, moons, asteroids and spacecrafts. There's an option to toggle ON/OFF all these objects at once, but we should be able to do the same for the planets/moons/asteroids/comets/spacecrafts as we can with the stars/nebulae/galaxies.

Recently, while doing some addon experiments, I've found that this feature (switching ON/OFF bodies separately) could be usefull in some occasions.

Is there any profound reason in the code that explains why we can't switch ON/OFF the planets and moons separately ?
