Thank you for addon.

I have one tiny, but annoying issue — this addon always create Custom Properties with name "selection_order" for EACH OBJECT. And when I animate, this custom properties has its own key in Dope sheet and Graph Editor without need

Blender automatically make own key for Custom Propeties. Pls fix this issue, if it possible

Thank you

Thanks. I will add it to my feature list. It should be quite easy to add but I can't predict when I will look into it.

It is super useful but to improve it a little more I think they should add the only selected thing to everything as there are some that do not have it like the collections

  • MatthiasPatscheider replied
  • 2 mo

You can use only selection on collections if you rename them from the outliner with the popup (Ctrl + Shift + F2 by default). I can only access the selected collections if it's started from the outliner and I can access the outliner context.
