More Collapsable / Hierarchical Items in the Object Info Palette

[trashcan]

Not sure if this is already a thing (don't think it is) but it would be so great to have hierarchical items in the OIP. 

 

I ask because some objects have a ton of data in the OIP and it's sometimes hard to digest. This would free up much needed real estate and allow you to focus on the things you need to focus on more quickly. 

 

I liken the OIP to After Effect's "Effect Controls" Panel - here's an example of what I mean:

This does exist, at least one level deep - see the Window tool for example which has collapsible categories. I think they're referred to as "Widget Groups." However it's implemented on a per-tool basis and it definitely needs to be expanded to additional tools. Off the top of my head - Viewports, Renderworks Cameras, Callouts, and LED Screens could all use this feature.

Mapping collapses for example.

@trashcan - What tool were you looking at when you made the original post? I can file an Enhancement Request on JIRA with a list of tools that could use the Widget Group treatment 😄

 

And yes, the Render tab was updated for 2022 and now includes the collapsible Mapping group.

It was a plugin!

 

But places where it could happen off the top of my head - in addition to your list, which I think is great.
