Improvements on "Items visibility"
Declined
Items visibility menu provides a quick control of visibility of all tracks, but it lacks the control of visibility of the tracks in each track folder. The solution is obvious and consistent with points folder control, since the required function is already available for points.
The suggestion is to create a list of tracks folders just below the existing list of points folders, with the same functionality.
I like this idea 
I generally agree with this idea but according to me function "Items visibility" should be removed and integrated directly to "Data" function. When working with POIs and Tracks I often need to switch between "Data" and "Items visibility". I would like to be able to select and deselect all items in category without opening the category. In that case function "Items visibility" would be useless and work with POIs and Tracks would be consistent.

I also think a long time on some integration of items visibility directly to data screen. So instead of improving "Items visibility", I would rather merge them together. Just still don`t have working idea in mind ...

I also agree that "Items visibility" could be dropped, if the "Data" menu is improved.
The present value for "Items visibility" is the ability to quick select/deselect all Points/Tracks, or Points per folder (I miss the control of Tracks per folder). These actions require 3 taps.
The selection of all Points/Tracks is only possible by folder through the "Data" screen, and requires 6 taps to select a folder.
Possible solution:
1. In the main "Data" screen, add a "Select" button on top for selection/deselection of all points or tracks (in the "Points" sub-menu, the "Add Point" button is useless, could be dropped to make room for the new "Select" button).
2. In the folder listings, create a check box along each folder name for quick selection, in the same way as the check box in individual points or tracks (to make room for this button, the count of active/all points or tracks could be moved to an extra line, with small letters in red, like the distance in the Points list - by the way, the track duration/length in the Track list could also be in red for consistency).

I am also interested in "items visibility" for tracks. If there is not ready conception for merging, maybe meantime simple extending this functionality on tracks could resolve some problems. At the other hand, working with "tracks visibility" could provide some answers for merging concept;)

Because few months ago, "Item visibility" screen was completely removed and merged with existing Points screen (simply by tap on Folder icon), I'm closing this idea - declined
