Modifier Stack Manager

Thank you! I’m glad you like the add-on. :)

Edit: Starting with v1.2, the + Add Modifier button uses the new modifier add menu. You can choose between the modifier search or the new modifier add menu in the add-on preferences.

Hello,

Thanks for the feedback. I assume you mean the menu that appears when you click on the + button doesn't show the new modifiers?

That menu isn't a custom menu that I built for the addon. It is a builtin older version of the menu that pops up when you click on the + Add Modifier button at the bottom. I think old menu is no longer maintained, probably in favor of the new one. I just kept using the old one since I liked it better.

I'll see if I can find a way to generate a menu similar to the old one instead of manually recreating it, because that would mean it would become obsolete every time modifiers are added, changed or removed from Blender.

If that's not possible, I would consider swapping the old menu for the new one.

Once again, thanks for reporting this.

Thank you! I am glad you like it.

Regarding drag and drop support, the list uses Blender's builtin UI List primitive which currently does not support drag and drop. I am also not aware of any method to extend UI List in this way using the Python API. But I'll definitely look into it. Appreciate the suggestion.

Thank you! I am glad you find it useful.

Edit: Starting with v1.2, you can expand the selected modifier and collapse the rest using the Shift + E hotkey. Can be used when the mouse pointer is anywhere inside the modifiers panel.

Thank you! I am glad you find it useful.

Regarding your suggestion about expand/collapse, I am currently working on something similar. Just looking for a way to add this feature without introducing too many buttons to the modifiers tab.

You can track it in this branch. In it's current state it adds two buttons – Expand and Expand All – below Apply and Apply All respectively. They automatically change to Collapse and Collapse All depending on the state of the modifier stack.The only thing is it suddenly feels like we have a lot of buttons.

Also, I planned Expand and Expand All to be used manually as needed. But I think it kind of makes sense to do it automatically. The only thing I am not sure about this is that sometimes you might want to adjust values in two modifiers back and forth, say an Array and a Curve modifier for example.

May be we could add something like a Expand Selected Only checkbox to the modifiers tab that you can enable/disable as needed. So if it is enabled, selecting a modifier in the list would expand it and collapse everything else, and if it is disabled, we would have the default behavior.

Let me know what you think.
