Hi shayne,

That could be a possibility, but it's a bit awkward to try and make a good visual representation of what that little button would do... One thing I've tried to avoid with the scene browser is having it get cluttered up with too many columns of controls which are not immediately recognizable for what they would do.

So another idea that I've had is to make a button that would open a drop down menu and then on that menu there could be some items, one of which could be "Assign to this name"... That would help for future functions as well since they could easily be added to that menu and stay out of the way most of the time.

But either one of those is possible, I just have not had time yet to prototype them.
