Usage

Import / Export

Stored Views can be imported/exported to a .blsv file (largely inspired from Theme Manager from Crouch). Settings can also be imported from an another scene. You can also choose to replace the current settings or append to them. Furthermore, imported/exported data might be filtered according to the differents modes

View Name Display

View name display can be toggled in the option subpanel. If the current 3d view status is different from the last set stored views the name will disappear. Furthermore, an indicator appear into the list to show which stored view is currently selected. Warning : this feature is still experimental.
