Could even be an option in the installer! "Clean light version" "Add Organizational tools".

But if your like me, when you buy a new package and it says "will you need to be using this in space", I always say "yes" and install it because I want ALL" the functionality, even if I will never be in space.

Ahuh! I get it now.
That would! be nice.

Couldn't you have that info window scroll or maybe tabbed to access the different areas of info ?

.

Hi Burr, in the future I definitely do want to put some focus on opening up MoI for 3rd party developers, but in the early stages I've got to sort of keep more focused just on "regular" non-developer users first to make sure the basic UI is working well...

So I think that more of that kind of thing will happen later on, but for now just getting the basics is more of the target.

Yeah - I try to avoid scrolling if possible, I had been thinking of tabs. But still there is not a lot of space even for a whole bunch of tabs so it won't necessarily be easy.

Here here!

But you have to admit, the assembly file is a great idea! Ha! (Looking forward to MoI's future)

A "miniature preview" on the right side panel when you select something on the tree list before to put in the screen view?

Hi Pilou, interesting idea, but space is going to be very tight over there on the right side panel, I don't think that there will be adequate space available to have a preview like that but we'll see.

Also, usually the plan for showing object is to show them in the 3D viewports.

About the Helpers and "constructions lines"
part of the tree? a special layer ? colors? ...

Nice ideas.

I'm happy with any sort of scene tree/scene browser as long as it stay out of my way while working. :) Adding the scene management as a tab would be my preferred choice. Thanks. :)

Ps In Moi a copy of an object will be made the file size smaller? (like in Sketchup)

Hi Pilou,

Hmm, I hadn't really thought about that part yet, but I suppose it would fit in well to include them as another object listed under the special "All objects" group.

That's something called "instancing", which is not going to be part of MoI's initial grouping/organizing system. It is something that I would like to add in the future though.
