Dynamic lists
#1
Lists are okish, but there is something cooler. Dynamic lists!
People organize objects using Layers. Lets make the option in Tyflow to in top of selecting individual objects, we can select layers.  
So instead of picking over and over new objects, artists can just move objects to the respective layers.

Unfortunately not really possible without a lot of SDK workarounds which would be a huge amount of work.

However, if you're finding it annoying adding the same objects to lists over and over, just use tyCollections instead. Add your objects to the tyCollection once, then add the tyCollection to the lists you want and all of its objects will be imported.

Perhaps a middle ground would be the ability to select layer(s) in a tyCollection, which would then pass geo to anywhere it's used as an input object.

When we work with multiple shots porting the flow around, or assets are added/removed from another department, dynamic lists makes things sooo much easier.  If can be done using layers in tycollections... not ideal, because its an extrastep, but I will take it!

Can you give an example of another plugin that uses "dynamic lists"? Maybe I don't understand what you're referring to, so an example would be nice.
