Grease pencil: Support layer groups in Autolock inactive layers

In grease pencil there's a feature Autolock inactive layers which allows you to lock all other layers when selecting a layer.

It would be great if layer groups were also supported, so when you select a layer group the whole group is unlocked at the same time (and all other layers are locked).

They are already doing this , but it doesn't work the way you want it to xD. read the comments at the bottom. projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/138220

The Only layer that will be unlocked is the one you're on. You won't be able to unlock or lock layers in a group like you're asking for. Auto lock treats each layer including the group slot as a locked layer. it doesn't see the groups as a special folder. it's basically a layer as far as it's concerned. so you can't just manually unlock layers. And the developer who's working on it thinks this is fine behavior.

The Download i tested the PR from is gone but it's probably up some where i donno ¯_(ツ)_/¯
