I love the new collections, but do personally hope to find an addon that gives me that little panel back :D edit: crucially, Blender _does_ display the collection in the top left of the viewport.
I think that's only a case of adjusting your keymap! Do a search for 'Collection' in the keymap, scroll down to Object Mode and study how the first 10 are set up. Currently shift+numbers toggle collections on and off (which I like), but you can disable those (I recommend this over changing or deleting), and set up your…
@Justo Looping through all objects in the scene should be extremely fast, you can do it with hundreds and not notice a pause. I'd need to confirm this again, but I think an alternative way to hide objects would be to make a collection, disable its visibility, then add objects to it by script. You can then toggle the…
@"Michael Knubben" : "crucially, Blender _does_ display the collection in the top left of the viewport." I would say : close, but not quite ! It does display the name of the currently active selection (last collection that was proactively clicked on or interacted with in the outliner), but that is different from the…
oh there is a very easy solution to this, you can just put your parts into a collection, then instance this collection into a geometry nodes graph (maybe needs realize instances) and then you can add this graph to a placeholder object, add the remesh modifier after the geometry nodes modifier and voila.
I hate new collection system too. it's a perfect example of "better is enemy of good" I found those two panels helpful although That QCD panel appears with check box checked in in preferences>addons>collection manager It works close to old Blender layers. Still those two are totally not in sync since top one does on/off…

Thanks Yogifi That's not as easy as it was in 2.7 although. I found collections pane in N panel. it's kind of easier to work with. Still the checkbox vs eye ys render is making so much confusion I would say the whole collection improvement is an example of "better is enemy of good"
