Scene layer names

Description

Scene layer names is simple layer manager for scenes. It allows assigning names to Blender layers, and having a default set of layers in a directory.

Installation

• Start Blender
  
• File->User Preferences->Addons tab.
• Install New Addon
• browse to $tubeSVNroot/lib/python/addons/scene_layernames.py
• Enable the addon.
• Save User Preferences

Usage

• Default names: If a file named "__layers" exists in the same directory, this will be parsed for layer names. act_1/ and lib/ currently both have this file, see the bottom of this page for an example.
  
• The Addon appears in the View Properties (right side of the 3D View) in the 3D View, as a panel titled 'scene layer names'
• If there is a defaults file, those names will appear.
• To assign a name, click on the button at the top, and assign a number to a name, then click OK. Note: layer numbers start at zero, not one.
• You can delete or reassign the same way.
