Outliner
Version:
2.1.5
Date Updated:
09/13/2012 The Outliner 2.0 is a fast and easy to use scene management tool. It has a wide range of features, including selecting, hiding, freezing, linking and grouping objects in the "Hierarchy Mode". In the "Layer Mode" you can organize your scene by dragging&dropping objects from one layer to the other. What's more, the Outliner offers support for nested layers, to manage scenes more efficiently. The interface is nimble enough to keep it open constantly.
Additional Info:
Compared to the previous version (1.6.1), there are many improvements. Most notable among them are: hugely increased performance, improved stability, nested layer support and many small tweaks to improve the ease of use. For a list of all changes, click here

some features wanted
i didn't fing how to hide / unhide all layer. does it exist?
it would be also nice to be able to alt clic on a layer to hide all layers except one, such as in photoshop.
These issues won't be fixed
These issues won't be fixed for 2.1 unfortunately. The Outliner is far from dead though. I'm currently working hard on a brand new version.
Please fix it, those bugs
Please fix it, those bugs driving me nuts.
sometimes i can't tell in which layer the object is, i just don't highlight any layer, and i'm stuck.
This bug with groups not able to assign themselves properly to other layer is killing me.
I can't believe the best max plugin ever is dead.

Hi again PJanssen,
i get a bug -
when i add a GROUP to a NESTED layer by PLUS sign, and then HIDE it it WON'T hide.
But if i add it by DRAG n drop, it will work OK.
It's not a big deal, but it annoys a lot, i have to drag it out of the layer, then drag it back.
From Russia, with love.
Thanks!
your hard work is much appreciated :)
Waooh

3 Mouse Button suggestion
Thinking about how improve the awesome outliner 2.0 or 3.0, I suggest a idea, make third mouse button panning for outliner, It's the natural manner we've working in 3ds max for years.
Thank you Mr Pier Janssen.
This sounds like a familiar
This sounds like a familiar issue with the kbdx file encoding.
There are two things you can do/check:
1) Make sure the file is in a writeable location (e.g. user folder)
2) Replace the first line in the file with: <?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\" ?>
2013 error message at startup
At first I want to say thank you for this fantastic script! I have a problem with the 2013 version. While installing it says it couldn't modify the keyboard shortcuts. And everytime i start it up it says it couldn't load keyboard shortcuts. Lstener says: "** Outliner exception **
-- Runtime error: dotNet runtime exception: Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1."
it does work though...
