Nested Layer Manager 2 For 3ds Max
Version:
2.0.0
Date Updated:
05/19/2012 
Nested Layer Manager 2 provides the ability to nest layers in 3ds Max. This script is small, fast and allows layers to be nested in an unlimited number of folders. It has complete 2 way communication with the default layer manager; If anything is altered in either, both layer managers are updated. This allows people without this script installed to still see the normal layer organisation present in the file.
Nested Layer Manager has a free 30 day trial.
The Pro version costs a small amount per user license in order for me to provide support and spend time adding features.
Thank you to everyone that purchases Nested Layer Manager :) Please check my website for more info.

It's gone. Is there any info about it?
=====================================
Nevermind, I found his works in GitHub up to version 3 (written in C# as a plugin instead of Maxscript).

Re: problem: application window switch
Sorry you’re having problems with NLM. I’ve looked into this issue a few times, and I’m sorry to say I really don’t know why it’s happening. I’ve never been able to reliably recreate it on my machine, but a few people have emailed about the problem. 3ds Max does some really weird things with window positioning, and I’m pretty sure it is something going on with Max itself. I’m using a standard form and simply hiding it, so I don’t understand how it can create this odd behaviour.
Sorry I can’t be of more help. If I do find out why it is happening, I’ll release a fix.
Cheers

problem: application window switch
I've installed the plugin Nested Layer Manager and have set it in my toolbar. I've also set a hotkey to open and close the manager.
The problem is that when I use the hotkey the manager will open, but pressing the hotkey will not only close the manager but also flip me over to my most recently used application (like Windows Explorer, Photoshop, etc). This also occurs when I open the manager via the button or hotkey, and then attemp to close it by pressing the close X button.
Any ideas on how to fix this? Tnx
