GIMP: Hide/Show all layers in current image
;; When editing an image with many layers (e.g. an animated GIF with
;; hundreds of frames), it's impossibly tedious to click hundreds and
;; hundreds of times on small little boxes to hide or show all layers.
;; Since GIMP seems to lack a button to hide/show all of them, and it
;; doesn't allow selection of multiple layers, this script provides
;; menu items to hide/show all layers at once.
;; Who knows if later versions of GIMP than I have provide a way to do
;; this, but this works, and maybe it will be helpful to someone.
