it's ok.

I created it because otherwise it would save the visibility-states 
several times.
Also because for each view the bar is set to invisible before disposing 
I added a boolean if it is already saved.

I copied this code from miscopts-class. I didn't change the workings as

I'll see what can be changed.

I'll change it to SlideSorter-toolbar

I removed all ascii-art as you asked earlier. I didn't know Doxygen.

I'll remove that

ok

i think so.
