FS#1708 - Layer > Select Layer: add feedback

Win 7
Q-CAD 3.19.2

R-Click in Layer list
With a selection, selecting by Layer adds the Items on that Layer to the selection.
With a selection, deselecting by Layer subtracts the Items on that Layer from the selection.
This is not a bug in casu because this can be the intention of the function. Adding or Subtracting.

Intuitively ‘selecting by Layer’ to retrict to that Layer solely has only the desired effect if no selection existed before.
Deselecting by Layer with no previous selection should mention there was none to start with.
Selecting by Layer from an empty Layer should mention that nothing is added.

Faults are prone to make.

Selecting a Layer uniquely would be an interesting additional feature.

This can be easily achieved using Select > Deselect All, Layer > Select Layer.

That is 4 clicks and a screen away from de R-click on the Layer List.
But this method will indisputable select solely the items on the Layer.

Intuitively it Fails:
All the functions of the R-click list act uniquely on 1 Layer except those that mention 'all'.

Selecting: One tend to see it as an action on the Items of 1 Layer only . [Selecting only the Items of 1 Layer].
Deselecting on the other hand is clearly deselecting only the Items of 1 Layer and removing them from the Selection.
It should be mentioned: 'Select Layer' Adds; 'Deselect Layer' Subtracts.

Informational it Fails:
Deselecting by Layer with no previous selection should mention there was none to start with.
Selecting by Layer from an empty Layer should mention that nothing is added.
