Nice video, thanks! There were even some things I forgot, and some that were missing from the user guide. Also when you made multiple box selections in the dopesheet and scaled them, it showed a bug! We've fixed it in 4.0.83-beta!

Here's a little secret for you, color tags for tree nodes:


Results in:


The list of color names is here, case matters: http://n4te.com/x/2095-MLQZ.txt

You can also use [#RRGGBBAA] or [#RRGGBB], case doesn't matter for the hex numbers. You can end the color with [], for example: stuff [#00ff00]this is green[] more stuff. You can have multiple color tags in a single name and can nest them.



You probably wouldn't want to use this for attachment names, unless you don't mind setting the path instead of using the name to find the file. You probably also wouldn't want to use it for things you'll be looking up by name at runtime, because you'll need to use the full name, including the color tags, at runtime. We didn't actually plan for this to be a feature for users, but it's there and might come in handy.

Only the tree shows the colors, everywhere else you get the actual text:

Hold shift when clicking New... Bone for a bone or slot to prevent the new bone from being selected. This is similar to holding shift when clicking with the bone create tool to create a new bone.
