Just wondering if there a way to force (even by plugin or scripting) a display performance setting by layer??  ie - Layer 1 is high quality, layer 2 is typical.

 

Thanks!

It's possible to set it per object - so to all objects on the specified layer - is perfectly scriptable - this should work: 

 

 

app.activeDocument.layers['name'].everyItem().localDisplaySetting = DisplaySettingOptions.HIGH_QUALITY;
