Bug: Output Sub-Layer disabled and unable to re-enable - able to reproduce

Description:
It is possible to get sub-layers into a state where there is only one and it is disabled.
Re-enabling this layer is counterintuitive.

LightBurn Version: 1.2.01

Reproduction Steps:

  1. Create New File
  2. Add an shape to it
  3. Open the layer settings
  4. Add a sub-layer
  5. Go to the first sub-layer and disable it
  6. Go back to the second sub-layer and remove it
  7. The first sub-layer is now disabled and you are unable to re-enable to

The file can be saved in this state and from my testing it appears that the disabled sub-layer persists.
Depending on how you have LightBurn reconfigured, restarting it or creating a new file may not resolve the issue.
To re-enable the sub-layer you can add a second sub-layer, go back to the first sub-layer, enable it, then remove the second sub-layer.

Expected Behavior:
There are a couple of ways this could behave.

  1. When removing a sub-layer so that there is only one left, the remaining sub-layer should be enabled.
    If that sub-layer was previously disabled, then the layer itself could potentially be disabled.

  2. When only one sub-layer exists, it remains possible to enable it, but it is only possible to disable the layer (not sub-layer).

  3. It becomes possible to disable or enable any sub-layer at any time (i.e. when there is only one), and the output indicator is changed so that it indicates if any (or all) sub-layers have their output disabled.
