Due to all respect to you as a developer (assuming you are) and to all fellow people on the list that gave constructive answers to that question but ADSK owned(!) Softimage for about six years. Wasn't that enough time to get a clue about the functionality of the software. ADSK had time to investigate it even before like other vendors did. SideFX kept an eye on softimage and even maya and they did research to implement features or workflow these packages had. And now, after killing the software you ask how to improve maya and you ask softimage users? How about getting a clue about the software you own already? It's an example how ADSK has no idea about the 3D DCC business. And my dear list people, stay away from the idea ADSK will make maya or max like softimage. ADSK is not the company to bring max or maya even close to a "next gen 3d application" like Softimage (the company) did with XSI. It's just too expensive and risky to do a redesign of a 3D animation software. Softimage (the company) did this with XSI after it was clear to everyone that the codebaseof Softimage|3D was just too old. And they lost a shit ton of market share with the development of XSI. ADSK will not do the same with max or maya.

We are looking into improving Outliner and Attribute Editor. I know the strongest request is to have multiply dock-able Outliners and Attribute Editors with the function to pin to certain objects. Other than that, I won't list any thing else as I don't want to lead the direction of the discussion. How we improve the Outliner and AE is totally decided by your input. Please let us know what bothers right now and how current Outliner and AE are blocking you. Ideas and Inputs please. Thanks in advance for you help. This means tremendous for us. Shuting
