=UI Proposal: Armature Layers In the 3D View Header=
{|
|[[Image:Armature_layers2.76.png‎|thumb|right]]

A user who is posing or animating a character frequently needs to turn armature layers on and off. This is a crucial operation on all but the simplest of character rigs. There are several existing UI paths for doing this:

*'''Have an armature layers panel open.''' Accessing the layers here requires having a properties window open, which takes up an unacceptable amount of screen space, as none of the other armature settings are as frequently accessed.
*'''Use the bpy.ops.armature.armature_layers() operator.''' This has no default key binding, and also breaks convention (we don't access scene layers this way)
*'''Write a custom script for the rig that provides an interface for switching layers.''' This is a lot of work, and shouldn't be necessary.
None of the above workflows are ideal. Like Scene Layers, Armature Layers get toggled a lot, and need to be accessible in the same place.

===Solution: While in Pose Mode or Armature Edit Mode, Armature Layers should replace Scene Layers in the 3D View Header.===

This is a more intuitive design for a couple of reasons:
*The 3d view header already has the scene layers property, so it is already the go-to interface for at-a-glance visibility options.
*The visibility of the Scene Layers property is already context-senstive; e.g., it disappears while in Edit Mode and the like.
*When in Pose/Edit Mode of an Armature, Armature Layers are much more relevant than Scene Layers.

Initially, I'm tempted to agree with this. However, I've learned that situations like this are often a lot more complex than they initially seem, and that the existing situation facilitates a lot of other workflows that we may have initially overlooked. Examples include:
* Using the scene layers to quickly knock out all scene lights, to quickly preview silhouettes
* Switching between low/high poly versions of the geometry while animating
* For riggers - Getting access to the deform cage to check on things, or to fetch some hidden widgets, or something else like that
* While still posing, quickly toggle on/off the rendering layout things (lights, camera). This is probably especially common when trying to do one-off promo shots.

So, in this case, replacing the layers wholesale isn't such a great idea IMO. At risk of introducing too much complexity, IMO we still need a way to switch back to scene/object layers instead. BTW, I also considered doing something similar for the Grease Pencil editmode recently, but ended up abandoning the plan as it didn't fit quite so well in that case.
