A function or command that does the same thing as 'Disable all portals' in the portals menu of the mapper would be very useful.

It would be very convenient to have a way to easily disable all portals and then re-enable them back to their previous state on demand through script.

It can be done now with a very lengthy script, but it is very inefficient. You must know all of the portal names, and you must disable each of them, storing their prior values, and then re-enable each of them with those values. A very lengthy script. I don't think there is any better way to do this currently.

i agree.
however, looping to disable/enable your portals shouldn't be that difficult
i keep all of my portals in a database (po) with portal name (&Key) and level (&Level). i define enabled and disabled views in that db using formula filters of %portalenable(&Key)==1 and %portalenable(&Key)==0, respectively.

my enable portals alias:
#LOOPVIEW disabled|po {
#NOOP %portalenable(&Key,%if(&Level<=@score.Level,1,0))
}
disable alias:
#LOOPVIEW enabled|po {
#NOOP %portalenable(&Key,0)
}

of course, keeping the db in sync can be a pain.
