At a minimum Folders NEED to be hierarchal and should display as every folder structure in AC or CAD program

It is worse.
You can click to edit the Layer Extension but not the name.
But as they wrote when the bug was submitted:

Hi - has anyone by any chance figured out how to get these buttons back on Archicad 26? Really struggling without them!!! Please assist!

You can't get them back.
They have gone.
CTRL+A will select all layers (CMD+A on a Mac?).
Once selected you can turn the selection on/off, lock/unlock.
You have always been able to do this and with the new dialogue window, these buttons were seen as superfluous.

Thanks so much, Barry. I appreciate the prompt reply. This already helps.
How would I then go about the following:
While working, I want to unlock and view a couple (2 or three) random layers (not part of a specific layer combo) at once. I used to just open the Layer Palette, pick the two or three layers i quickly wanted to unlock and view and that was it.
For example - I'm working on ground floor on a marketing layer combination (which does not have the MEP Electrical and MEP plumbing layers visible), then I just want to have the MEP Electrical and MEP plumbing on to see if fittings are in the way of what I want to do. I have to now open the Layer Palette, select the MEP Electrical and unlock it and open it's eye, then select the MEP plumbing and unlock it and open it's eye. This gets very irritating when it's a bunch of layers I need to quickly view?
Do you know of a quicker way I can get this done?

You can still select 2 or 3 layers and unlock them all at the same time.
That is no different to what it was before.
But if you happen to have your layers in folders, you will only see the layers in that particular folder you have open.
Unless you switch to the 'list' view where you will see all of the layers in one long list as before.
But to speed things up a bit now, you have the search option.
Just type MEP in the search bar, and all layers that have 'MEP' in their name will show in the list - regardless of what folder they are in and 'MEP' can be anywhere in the layer name.
Then just select the ones you want and turn them on.
