Comment 2 for bug 171246

Originator: NO

this has been requested for the layers dialog too but there is no need to
keep seperate reports for both. this wouldn't even need a menu item
(although it would probably be a good idea), the important part is creating
a verb and the necessary underlying infrastructure.

this would be a nice little improvement that would make inkscape more
consistent with other applications that offers layers like the GNU Image
Manipulation program.

might be a good small project to get outside developers involved
