Highlight files already loaded into the scene. #369

Open BigRoy opened 5 years ago

Feature proposal

One of our Artists asked me whether we could add a feature to the Loader that would allow him to highlight or easily see what content is already loaded in his current scene. He wanted to quickly go into the Loader and see what content he did not load yet, so he could load the additional content.

Maybe it could be a toggle somewhere?

That's a good idea. Maybe an additional column with a count?

For the last production pipeline I had a notification when the users opened an application about related assets they had not loaded.

The specific use-case was when compers had loaded some render elements but others (not a different version) had been produced.

Yes, that was the idea. :)

What decided which subsets were related when they were not loaded yet? Where would it be taking that information from and who was putting that information there?

Sorry, I wasn't using Avalon, so can't answer that. (Ftrack terminology below) It was Ftrack components loaded into Nuke. Each component was a render layer, so if there were any components from the same asset not loaded, the use would get a notification.
