List Hidden Objects

[overdrivediamond]

Is there a script that looks for hidden objects in the scene or a script that checks if the object is hidden?

[gmask]

for($n in ls -sl -l){

$v = getAttr ($n+".visibility");

if($v == 0){

print($n+" is invisible\n");
}

}

Or

CODE
proc int isThisOneHidden( string $name ){
if (attributeQuery  -node $name  -ex visibility)
   return (!getAttr($name+".visibility"));
return 0;
}

itemFilter  -byScript isThisOneHidden objectsThatAreHidden;

now your essentially made a filetr that can be called like this:

lsThroughFilter objectsThatAreHidden;

The bonus of this is that you can attach it to editors for example this would attach it to the main outliner
CODE
{
string $outliner = outlinerPanel -query -outlinerEditor outlinerPanel1;
outlinerEditor -edit -filter objectsThatAreHidden $outliner;
}

If you want I can send you a script I made that has a GUI. You can see the hidden objects in a list (text scroll list ) and select the ones you want to unhide or delete or do something to them. I dont think I have it on this computer so I cant do paste the proc here.

Joojaa's solution however is more sophisticated since it tweaks the outliner, which would save a person the time to sit and write down the GUI code.

Thanks for the comments. We only need this during export....only export "shown" nodes. The ls filter works beautifully. Thanks

one more extra
try unhideByName.mel
will list hiddens double click will show them.

maybe you not wantto code.
maybe you need it ? eh ?

Is there a way to always have this in the outliner using your algorithm? As in an option to "show all hidden" by clicking on an option in Outliner. I am asking because another concept that we added was "collidable objects", which is a node (any shade node) that has a "collidable" boolean attribute set to On. We created a tool for it, but that information is only used in that tool. It would be cool to always have it in the Outliner.

Sure you'd nee dto edit the outliner menu scripts tough. Or put the shards into userSetup.mel
