[Bf-committers] Design Issue about 2.35 RC1 Outliner

[Bart]

another small additon to the outliner

like in 3d view pressing Numpad / could collapse all brunches but will 
completly open the brunch of the selected items.

it would be great if the outliner should start with mode "Show Hierachy" 
instead of completly collapsed

The hotkeys Numpad + and Numpad - for less/more not listed at the view

it would be great if if pressing X key would delete the entry in the 
outliner and delete the object in the 3d scene

> Some things that where offten remarked by me and other people about the 
> outliner:
> - doubleclick on a item (like Lamp.001) did not open the tree if it has
>     childs (that's a default behavior in other apps)
> - on modern OS like WinXP or MacOSX they removed always the connection
>     lines because they not really necessary; anyway if they are
>     present or not but the never a black solid line. I would suggest
>     make the connection lines dotted or dark gray (like window
>     background). They are to much present at all.
> - the shortcut Ctrl+A for Select all/Deselect all is not listed
> - Border select is missing
> - renaming things in Blender could normally done with Shift+LMB but at
>     the Outliner it is Ctrl+LMB
> - The selection behavior is strange:
>     - Selecting more then one object with RMB did not select them in
>          the 3d View
>     - selecting some object in the 3d view will not be shown at the
>         outline
>     - as the 3d view selecting of one entry should work with RMB and
>         selecting of some object should be Shift+RMB (or swaped
>             with LMB if set in the preferences)
> - a selected entry has a strange background color it does not match with
>     text and background of a menu highlighting or with the
>     text editor
