What I wish is that.....

When I make an image, I don't just want that layer to be on, I want it on exclusively. This cannot be hard to do, but why am I the only user wishing this?

Are you wanting a 'Layer Always On' toggle?

Layer manager
Right click the layer, select Active Only.

I'm not sure if everyone is understanding the request.
Are you asking that while in the 3d menu, after a hide command, you want the image to be placed on a new layer and to have that become the only layer on immediately.
Sound like a good request to add another selection in addition to the
ActiveLayer, NewLayer, LayerFile, Clipboard, Offset options.
F6 could be NewActOn.

This is a good suggestion but I wonder if, since you are going from a 3d view to a layer that is now 2d, would it be possible to automatically switch you back to a 2d view at the same time?

I understand the intent and I believe you're right Paul. Lemme look into it.
