Thanks for the feedback and the donation! The 'double view' is in the making at this very moment! It has got a number of quite far-reaching consequences for the design though. Most of them are technical, for example: it requires a lot of code refactoring to allow for multiple treeviews. But there are some things to think…
Ok, I'll keep it down a bit with the technical stuff then. As for the messagebox vs listener message: currently it's a messagebox which is only shown once. That is, if someone without the Outliner opens a scene with nested layers, it will pop up. Then if that scene is saved, it will never come up again, so as not to annoy…
You can use the filter to do this. Right-Click the filter icon to configure it, disable the hidden objects checkbutton, and enable the filter. There's an example of this in the first 25 seconds of the features video: http://vimeo.com/10783899
Cheers :) Could you maybe check what exactly was going wrong when trying to install the outliner without administrator rights? I'd be very interested in the error messages printed to the maxscript listener for example. I only have access to windows xp, and that isn't quite as restrictive. It'd help a lot in improving the…
I've added a few items to the features list. For example using bold text for instanced objects. Right now I'm working on (re)implementing the drag-drop functionality. I think that was something that worked quite well in 2.0, so the new implementation will largely follow that. Do you guys have any thoughts on things that…
I have an idea for a minor improvement that I'd like some input on: At the moment, there's an option to set what happens when you click a node's icon. This can be "hide", "freeze", or "set layer active". The last one is the default, and is -obviously- only useful for layer nodes. Now my idea was to extend this to something…
Hi guys, I need some more input on the nested layers behavior. This time about layer properties. Currently the Outliner's layer hierarchy only affects the hidden, frozen and boxmode properties. They work like this: a layer is hidden if either it is hidden itself, or if its parent is hidden. I think that is logical. With…
Actually I've seen someone mentioning similar problems with 2.0.7 or 2.0.8. But I've never been able to reproduce them... Which 3dsmax, .NET and windows version are you using? Can you tell me how you scroll when this occurs? For example, with the mousewheel, middle-mouse button, wacom autoscroll, etc. And does it also…
Pjanssen, The Outliner is awesome. I use it everyday. There's a couple of workflow items I was hoping you could address. When you right-click on an empty area of the Outliner, it clears the selection. I typically like to select the objects I'm going to add to a new layer, then create the layer. The wildcard search doesn't…
