Description:
I think it would be a great enhancement to allow layers to "roll up" (i.e., collapse) so that the contents are hidden and only the title bar is visible. This is great when you need to tuck away some rarely-used, but still necessary, information to free up space for other tables. This also allows you to squeeze more tables into a given space. This feature is found on other database modeling software and would be a great enhancement to this package.

If implemented, this could be done similar to the way Indexes can be "rolled up" using the triangle/arrow icon on the right-hand side.

How to repeat:
Create a layer. Add the ability to "roll it up" / collapse it.

this is an interesting feature request, but we'll have to postpone that to version 6.0 as its not a trivial task.
