Enabling/Disabling selected effects from selected layers

I've got tons of layers, each with a few effects applied. I need to switch off a few of these effects temporarily cos having them all switched on slows down the work process and I can't switch off all of them cos there are Expressions and a couple of effects that I need while I work on the animation and tweaking bits.

Make sense?

I'm hoping to have a script that will -
1) go through the selected layers to provide a list the effects applied
2) provide a checkbox next to each effect to allow for selection
3) provide 1 checkbox to either switch on or off a selected effect, depending on its current state

Gracias!

Maybe you already know about my Effect Search script? http://www.aenhancers.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=31
It doesn't do exactly what you're asking, but if you change the effect names to include "tags", you can search for and turn on/off groups of effects in that way.

Thanks Paul. Was gonna reply much sooner but I kept getting kicked out from the forum. Things seem to be working now.
