In the XML code there appears to be functions for showing and hiding different types of spots. For instance:
hidepanopicturespots();

So why can't we call these from the GUI?

I would love to be able to show/hide only point spots whilst leaving picture spots unchanged etc.

(Another user has asked for the ability to create spot groups, which would be another solution: http://www.kolor.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=22121)
