I assume an event filter would save the U.I changes ? I'm not sure what happens specifically with the Outliner when it changes from docked to floating. Maybe it is the same Qt instance and just wrapped differently. Maybe it is always destroyed and recreated. An event filter would only let you watch for when objects are created and to see if it's an Outliner. In which case if it were an Outliner, you would then be able to install your custom behavior. Not saying this specifically applies to your needs here.. but was just confirming some past experience with Arvid I was hoping when writing the code I could use the outlineEditor command to manipulate the outliner window, unfortunately, no.

I think mine was trying to hook into viewport behavior and also finding that things reset each time the view layout changes and rebuilds them. Pretty sure the only real way to tackle it is to install an event filter on the entire app and try to catch the desired changes.

When you want to hook up code to either one, for instance a custom right click menu entry, it only lives so long until you close it. When you change viewport to single view, the outliner object is deleted, and so is your custom stuff. So you need a callback to hook up you code..I didn't find a great way yet to hack something into it. Any help is welcome!

Most of the code I find start with outlinerWindow, yet the docs only mention outlinerEditor & outlinerPanel ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group.
