v8.991: Plot enable/disable is corrupted on project save

Issue #368 resolved
Vladimir Ivanov created an issue

Recreate the issue like in the video. This corruption not only on new project save but also on most save operation. v8.991. If the next (exellon) obj will be added after Gerber objects this issue does not appears.

Also, I have small suggestion for FlatCAM file naming scheme. It slightly updated on last versions. Most files have the layer dependent names, but Exellon do not have. Actually, this type of file also 'layer dependent' due to the mirror of the holes.

Suggestion: when CNC object generated from exellon file FlatCAM must analyze if the holes mirrored or not. If holes is mirrored the GBL postfix added to file name otherwise GTL one. See the example included.

    Hi Vladimir,
    It is true that if you use the Enable/Disable commands in the the Project Context Menu then the visibility status is not updated. I will try to fix this issue when there is time.
    Regarding the name change I’m sorry but I will not change it as it will confuse things. I may add a suffix like _mirrored_x but that’s all I may do. Even that may be create problems since will make the name longer which in turn make it harder to differentiate from other files with almost the same name. Overall I think that this will not be implemented, at least not in the current state of things.
