Lock a layer in the Layer panel

[rui_mac]

I searched and search for a way to lock layers while still in the layer panel and nothing.

It is absolutely unintuitive to have to go to a menu (far, far away) to lock a layer.

Please, please... add a way to lock/unlock layers in the layer panel.

I second this......

I agree.

 

And I add another issue: A locked mask layer with active yellow lock symbol appears not to be locked correct:

 

If you select its parent layer in the layers panel the locked mask layer gets selected, too.

If the mask layer is a layer by its own you can still select via the layers panel with the lock symbol active.
