Improve filter for viewport overlays
Hi community! I want to make this proposal to improve the filter for objects in the viewport! There should be an option to hide object in the viewport without actually deactivating them like for examples lights. Please vote up if you like!
EDIT: I made some changes, read post below.

Yes! Deactivating things... is really not necessary - I only want to not see them in the viewport.
* @Andres Stephens - Trinumedia * YES YES YES!, also add a button to turn them all on or all off.
Oh my, yes! Specially since lights make the scene huge for no apparent reason. If you press Home to see everything any light makes it go faaaaar away.
Big "YES" for this. I pointed it out in the last Q&A video, but the question was not picked.
I don't even need a new icon - there are so many already. Just give the "eye" icon the same functionality that it had in 2.79. Disabling it only hid the light in the viewport, yet the lights were still active in preview and final renderings. In 2.8+ the "eye" and the "camera" icon do pretty much the same thing.
Need this per-object in the outliner too.
Hi community! Since deactivaten things in the viewportfilter isn´t so useful, i would suggest to simply change the eye behaviour to "just hide in viewport" instead of "deactivate" and leave the icons as they are. To make the filter even more usefull i would like to suggest some more functions:
Please tell me what you think.{attachment Viewport_Fiterjpg}
You can already hide lights from Overlays>Extras without deactivating them. An option could be added there to hide per collection though.
* @Emir Sinan Gürlek * it deactivates images with it. This should be separate as well....
* @Emir Sinan Gürlek * Yeah - but all the other extras that you might want to see are gone too. Lights are a special case. Once they are properly set up, one usually doesn't want to be "bothered" by them in the viewport any more.
* @GabrielMoro * * @Andreas * True. It just need to be improved or seperated option there (in overlays). Adding an extra icon/button just for this in the outliner is redundant. Outliner is already complicated as it is.
