[LAU] Ardour3: hiding/showing groups

[Q]

Hi

Do you have the Editor list showing? This an expandable set of tabs down 
the right-hand side of the Editor: View > Show Editor List. You might 
have to drag the list outwards for it to be fully visible -- sometimes 
double-clicking seems to expand/hide it but at other times it doesn't.

I think the Editor list is a very useful way of displaying a lot of 
information quite quickly and I like the expandable/collapsable nature 
of it: I was very pleased when I discovered it in A3.

Anyway, on the Track & Bus Groups, the column headed V (for visible) 
allows you to show/hide groups be ticking/unticking.

The Tracks & Busses tab allows the same control over individual tabs and 
busses, as you'd expect.
