Summary0010342: Mixer - Bus Tracks - Uncheck left sidebar Tracks when use Show Sends
DescriptionThis might be too specific but I came across/was thinking about this when I noticed this issue mentioned here
https://tracker.ardour.org/view.php?id=10341

In the Mixer, Bus tracks have a blue button that says `Show Sends`
If you click on this button, it filters out mixer channels, only showing channels.

I was thinking, if the `Track & Bus visibility` is currently the active view in the left sidebar.
Maybe it could update based on the bus tracks `Show Sends` button being active?

Maybe the Bus tracks name in the `Tracks` sidebar list would highlight, indicating to the user that bus track is showing sends.
All the tracks/mixer channels that are currently being hidden would be unchecked (and maybe grayed out because they cannot be interacted with in this `Show Sends` mode)
If these unchecked tracks were grayed out, this would make the current tracks that are being sent to that Bus track stand out to the user.

The `Tracks` section has its own context menu.
Could add an item to the bottom to
Turn off Bus tracks `Show Sends` mode.

Again just randomly thought this when analyzing the linked issue I came across.
If this is too specific / too complicated to achieve / not agreed with, can close this suggestion.

Thank You

The sidebar list serves a different purpose (re-order and global visibility).

Keeping all tracks visible there is helpful, when using filters (such as "show sends"), since it can confirm that the mixer visibility is currently limited.
Besides it would be inconsistent with the editor sidebar.
