Multiple saved layouts in Player View

A very helpful feature would be multiple saved layouts when using player view mode on a second monitor . Let me give an example.

I ran a session last week with two major portions. In the first portion, the group was investigating bidders in an upcoming auction. I need to show nine portraits, some bios, and a map of the auction house. The second portion was a race. I wanted players to see pictures of their fellow racers, the race rules, and of course the route they would be taking.

With no saved layouts, I had to bring everything up, then send all the elements for the second portion to the back, or try to hide them. Then, when I needed them again, I had to bring them all back to the front or unhide them.

What if instead, there was a way to create a player view layout just like as you like it, then save it with a specific name. Then you could create another layout and do the same. During the session, you could switch between showing any of your saved layouts. Alternatively, if there was some kind of folder system so I could toggle visibility on groups of windows, that might work too.
 
Although I don't utilize RW for any kind of displaying ( I personally find it woefully incomplete for such a task), this is one of the many reasons (as described above) why I don't use it. It is a table game time delayer to constantly switch differing elements to have them display in the "player view" .

This suggestion is an obvious first step in making it a better tool "in play" at the table.

+1 (not that putting a plus anything really matters)
+10 to Tocath for submitting it.
