Ability to hide bound camera and markers

Why I would like to have this option.

I have an architectural project. In the project I have many cameras set up for still images. I also have a series of animated cameras bound to markers in the timeline. The cameras set up for stills are unrelated to cameras set up for the animation. I sent me rendering to the render farm to render my stills. I chose all my cameras to be rendered for the stills. The problem, all my renderings came out the same view. I did not know that if you have cameras bound to markers that they override any other camera. The easiest thing would be an option to hide markers in the timeline. This would in affect, ignore them so you could render other cameras as well. I had to copy my project and delete the markers. It was a pain and a waste of time.

And if this option already exists, please let me know.......Thanks

I will try this. Thanks.

A workaround in the meantime might be to create seperate collections for each camera, and use different view-layers to exclude the collections you don't want and include the camera collections you want.

Excluding marked and bound cameras within a separate collection does not work. The marked and bound cameras still override the scene camera.
