If I understand this correctly, you want to be able to hide images in
the Thumbnail view.
I think it is a good idea, but somehow I have the feeling that we
might get into trouble when an image has multiple relations. If it has
one with a show and one with a hide attribute, which one should be
used?

That is a very good idea!
