Modifiers visibility in Outline

This is something I have always wanted but for some reason am just now proposing.

I think it would be really useful to have a Modifiers visibility option/icon in the outliner. This way could easily one click turn off all modifiers in the scene, or by collection or by that specific object

Yes, could be really helpful. Would also be a nice shortcut to open the modifiers just for that specific object.

That's something I always liked about Cinema 4D (even though I think they don't have it optimized enough) - the fact that you can see an overview of attributes of an object by looking at the outliner. The problem here being that tags/attributes stack up a lot potentially.

Maybe Blender could incorporate the types of tags customizable, similar to windows explorer: Have options which attributes are atually shown in the collection outliner : image

@motionblur.of.doom: That would be a great idea incase people want to keep things minimalist.

this is what I have also proposed on devtalk

Outliner “hide and block icons zone” become a sidebar

Much of the time I work in two phases one of modeling-animate and one a shading - rendering. For this reason I do not need to have 4 columns of options available for the management of objects but I need only one or at most two, depending on the work I’m doing.I would rather have much more space available to see the tree of objects in the outliner. Then I propose to make the area of the icons that hide or block objects a sidebar with the columns that can be displayed that can be moved to preference.

By doing so you can add a column, which you feel is missing, which exchanges the individual objects or groups in wireframe, solid, etc …
