Hello,

We're using the Context options to switch between shots. However, when working with a lot of similar shots it's easy to lose track of which one's currently active. For this it would be great to have the active context name as a custom overlay in a corner of the viewport, where my eyes automatically look for it .

Is this possible to do?

Cheers,
Dan

There is no way to put this kind of persistent information in the viewport right now, but you can have it show up in the network editor by adding a custom version of nodegraphtitle.py in your PYTHONPATH. And in H19 there will be support for putting this kind of dynamic information on the main menu bar, which I think will be a better solution in the long run (because you can not only see the current value there, but pop open the menu to change the value).

Thanks good to know - thanks!

Sounds like a neat feature in H19 - will try it out when it's available.
