Re: Bone Selection Buttons Tool
As a low-to-mid level user, I'm curious when or how this script would be implemented in a project. Anyone willing to give an example or two? Just want to make sure I'm working as efficiently as possible!
Re: Bone Selection Buttons Tool
That looks pretty cool!
Thanks for sharing this Stan. I'll download and try it this evening.

Re: Bone Selection Buttons Tool
very useful concept!
I'm thinking that this could get an update so it doesn't just allow selection of the set of bones you want, but it also hides the bones you don't want to see -- harking back to the discussion about keyed bone visibility.... e.g. you have several "arm bone groups" (because you have variant art work for different arm poses) and you only want one of those bone groups active at a time (matched to the active art work).

Re: Bone Selection Buttons Tool
This is an excellent tool, very handy.
Here are some things I have noted in-use:
1 - If the bones have certain characters in the name like '-', the group selection does not work
2 - The tool allows empty groups to be created - if you click and create without any bones selected
3 - Why use alt-Click to create? Why not just Click? I have tested the revised script logic and it seems to work OK. The 'Click' just checks if the Group button is empty or not and then decides to create or select
4 - If you free-up the Alt key, then you could use the following key combos/logic (or similar): alt-Click to redefine a single Group button (Assign new selected bones + Prompt for rename -or- Clear the button if no bones selected), ctrl-alt-Click to remove the button (i.e. clear it and shuffle it along to end)
5. Also .. I agree with @hayasidist. Could potentially have a "Show Only" type check box - behaving somewhat similar to Lukas's "Toggle Color Bones" script
6. Also also .. I think the ' + ' buttons make more sense with 'Click' logic

Re: Bone Selection Buttons Tool
To answer all "why?" questions, I can tell you that the tool has a pretty long story. It's actually the 3rd version.
This is what the first version looked like:
And this is the v2:
So, the evolution is obvious, and I hope that eventually I'll find some time to create a v4.
Thank you guys, I really appreciate your feedback! I'm reading it thoroughly and making my notes.

Whoa! I like the evolution.
We look forward to versions 4, 5, 6 ...
