Merge By Layer 0.4

A self explained script, I think. Enjoy

Additional Info: 

v0.1 - initial version
v0.2 - now dialog resizeble
v0.3 - ugly mistake fixed
v0.4 - now multi-select & merge layers/objects
v0.5 - alphabetic sort added for layers/objects

I has a mail request/wishlist to sort layers in alphabetic order.
I add this option for both - layers and objects lists.
The option should been checked before choose scene file.

v0.5 UI:
MBL v0.5

Version Requirement: 
3ds max 4 and higher

It is just an Idea : - you

It is just an Idea :
- you could select/multiselect in left column layer(s) to merge
then all objects of these layers will be merged
then click merge button
or
- you could select/multiselect in right column object(s) of one selected layer u want to merge.
then click merge button
cheers

thanks for the feedback

Hi Titane,
well, the idea was to merge by layer, but your request sounds sensibly. What if the objects list is MultiListBox and then double click on layer to merge selected objects? Also maybe the objects will been selected all by default? I just think how to keep the UI simple as is. What you think about?

hello Anubis, please correct

hello Anubis,
please correct "double click to megre " -> merge (I can't sleep)
Could it be possible to merge just some Objects of one layer ?
Max's merging is awfull : impossible to see in which layer objects are, your script is cool (for people using layers), we could merge objects from layers seeing in which layer thay are. :-)
I like resizable window ! Thanks
