Outliner UI tooltips
Closed, ResolvedPublicDESIGN

Description

In the outliner we don't have yet a clear distinction for the users of when to use each of the visibility settings. I plan to change that by properly naming the property and their tooltips.

Short version == what you see in the RNA API (likely never in the UI)
Long version == tooltip you see when mouse hover the property in outliner

Long version:

  • Exclude from view layer
  • Temporarily hide in viewport
  • Globally disable in viewports
  • Globally disable in renders

Short version:

  • Exclude from View Layer
  • Hide in Viewport
  • Disable in Viewports
  • Disable in Renders

The API itself does not need to change.

What I will change though is to remove any reference to instance we may still have lingering around.

Note: The order in the menus are different. So I'm also proposing to have the temporary hide before the global one.
