[Bf-funboard] Simple tweak could make properties editor much better - Acces objects, materials, textures more easily!

[metallic session]

It's a great and simple!
It seems overlaps of the Outliner when it's on top of the properties panel. We can select object, material, by simple clicking, but it's a bit laborious with the tree hierarchy.  So : your view could be a compact alternative to the tree view in the outliner window? It's juste a idea without lot of thinking behind, so don't take account if  it sounds stupid. The primary flaw is that the outliner is not really "linked" and not always on top of the properties.. but by default it is.

Anyway i like your idea and it should be implemented in a way or another. :)

(please excuse my bad english)

But this would solve a big issue I'm sure a lot of people have : navigating through tabs just to select a different material,and then back again to textures immediatly and then scroll down or up again to select another texture or just activate/deactivate it.
