In preferences-->Layers-->Groups some of the layers are listed but not all are listed. What do you think is missing?

For padtack which could be used for: pins, pads, via ordinary, via buried, via blind: I suggested a group of ordinary drawing primitives could be grouped together but no one said if this is a bad or good idea. I also suggested this group you call a padstack could be placed in a library with sub folders for different package types so they could be used many times. This might be very far out but a discussion how it should be done is always a start.
