Need a constraints manager

Hi, I've been working in filmbox for a while. There's a nice function there witch could be called a constraints manager. It's simply a GUI for handeling all the constraints in the scene. It's realy handy to have them all in one window, grouped together. Say for example you have one group for your left foot rig and one group for the eye rig ect. This is realy hand for controling wich constraints are turned on and how much weight they have assigned ect.

Does such a GUI excist or do I have to learn how to work with MEL to create one myself?

Interesting. That WOULD come in handy. I haven't seen anything like this anywhere, but it shouldn't be too difficult. I did something similar for my jpOddSync script here on Highend, but using visiblity channels.
You should just need to list all of the constraint nodes in a scene and then create a window with controls for the 'envelope' channels listed in it.

Thanks. I'll work on the script, as soon as I've got something working I'll post it.
