 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

Very nice ! I notice two

Very nice !
I notice two things :
- I'd rather have all buttons at the top of the window : when it is expended, the buttons are on the botton of the screen....
- When the window is docked, when you close and the re open the window, it appear floating 1 second, then dock. That is not make very solid (just feeling)
Thanks a lot to share !!! :-)))

I've updated the installer so

I've updated the installer so it no longer requires administrator rights to install the Outliner. Uninstalling any version prior to 2.0.3 will still require admin rights, this is just to get rid of files in the old "protected" location.
Anyone who has already got 2.0.x installed can skip this update.

I've uploaded version 2.0.1,

I've uploaded version 2.0.1, which addresses the following issues:
* Fixed open at startup crash
* Fixed installer issue when having to install across different volumes.
* Fixed crash when dragging node onto container.
* Fixed crash when somehow trying to add an empty selection to a new group.

You can download the new version by going into the options panel and clicking "Check now" if you already have the Outliner 2.0 installed, or by downloading the installer manually.

Two of these bugs were reported using the automatic Error Report form, and I must say that I'm really happy to see that working quite effectively.

Thank you for reporting this.

Thank you for reporting this. I've sent you a message through Scriptspot with a link to a new installer which will hopefully fix this issue. Please take a look at it and let me know if it works.

definately the most awaited

definately the most awaited script.

thanks for your hard work. script runs perfectly except one thing.

i am on windows 7 home 64-bit with 3dsmax 2011 64-bit.

when option "open at 3dsmax startup" is enabled i am getting the error message:
-- unknown property: "open" in undefined
C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2011\stdplugs\stdscripts\outliner\outliner_open_on_startup.ms

i have correctly uninstalled previous outliner 1.6.1

could you tell me what to change in the script to get it to work?

thanks and keep up your good work

p.s. here is the mentioned script

(
function outliner_get_instance =
(
if outliner == undefined do
fileIn ((getDir #Scripts) + "/outliner/init.ms");

outliner;
)

local prefsFile = ((GetDir #userScripts) + "/outliner_prefs.ini");

local open = getINISetting prefsfile "General" "openAtStartup";
if (open != "") then
try ( open = open as BooleanClass; ) catch ( open = false; )
else
open = false;

if (open) do
(
local outlinerInst = outliner_get_instance();
outlinerInst.open();
)
)
