quick-activate-button for disable-structures

Status: New

I'd like to suggest to add a small button to the header of a disable structure.

Clicking to this button would enable the currently visible case while all others should be disabled automatically.

Brilliant! And so simple!

In principle I like it.

However, it makes things difficult for possible future case-frame ideas. A conditional disable frame of some sort.

I'd probably accidentally hit it while switching from one diagram to another.

It probably would end up saving you minutes after a few years of use...At least!

Good idea but the position can be near the case edge

At first glance a good idea.. thinking the process of playing with the disable structure sometimes is a bit cumbersome.

 

However, the time gained v.s. extra clutter in the diagram I think is not worth to add this feature. I think one of the strengths of the diagram disable structure is that this is very clean in the diagram.
