Only show hidden elements in 'Reveal Hidden Elements' mode

[Anonymous]

Clicking the lightbulb to reveal the hidden elements will also links the are load but with their visibility switched off in the visbility / Graphics dialog, as well as categories that are hidden. 

It would be very helpful if the view mode would only show elements that the user him/herself has chosen to hide, thereby fullfilling the promise of a "reveal hidden elements" mode rather than show show a big mess of all elements that happen to be invisible. This would help greatly in finding user hidden single elements for unhiding.

I would suggest a cycle,  when selecting the light bulb the first pick should reveal on the hidden elements, the second pick could show everything, and the last pick would take you back to the beginning.

Color coding would be good for all the different ways something can be hidden...  but in addition to that or even more importantly would be a Filter system of those hidden items you've revealed with the Reveal Hidden Elements tool. 

Currently we select Reveal Hidden Elements and it shows (nearly) everything that is hidden in a multitude of ways.  If I have items temporarily hidden those appear in blue, other items hidden regardless of method are in pink.  If there have been a lot of things hidden in various ways, all of those items make it nearly impossible to find what you are looking for.  

Recommended workflow: Select Reveal Hidden Elements, each of the different methods of hiding an element are color coded, a Filter list appears (default to last used) where we can choose from the following list of hiding methods we want shown (one, several, or all).  The list would separate items by the method used to hide:

In general this would solve these ideas as well I believe:

Since the elements hidden by Element are the most pertinent to find, in addition to the above, a number on the lightbulb icon (perhaps the number is enlarged on mouse over?) that reflects the number of items hidden by Element.  This would solve these ideas:
