Got another idea for an upgrade.. DIFFEOMORPHIC MACROS

Issue #1300 wontfix
Joe Morris @ FAST Animation Studio Toolz created an issue

DIFFEOMORPHIC Macros for common processes… I'm always looking through the documentation and they always say a specific way to do things..a constant… or I'll ask here and you'll give a set way to do things like for importing a genesis 8 with a face controls….you gave me an image that had the exact settings and exact instructions.. I would surmise that those settings are a constant…. my idea is to make another panel in diffeomorphic… a macros panel! so everything on your diffeomorphic documentation that has set exact way to do things… a constant… is broken into a macro… just read through your documentation every time you see a constant… make a macro and add to panel.. That is separated by genesis model…genesis one… genesis 2 genesis 3 genesis 8 genesis 8.1…. Save yourselves a boatload of time because you won't have people asking questions on the Bitbucket site….and you’ll improve the workflow for the world

    was making a list for the next add ons I'm gonna make……. And the above was on it here's some other ideas I was thinking about ….and will make an all inclusive diffeomorphic companion addon that every time I see a good idea in daz studio that hasnt been implemented in diffeomorphic or would be a bonus…. I'd add it to my companion add-on but tell you guys first in case you wanted to integrate it…

    import multiple BVH: blender will do it with a script I don't know if daz will but I'm trying to figure out what stripper animations to use in a current scene I'm making and it would help to be able to see them all lined up so if you do integrate it maybe have the option if you guys could figure out how to align BVH files that I can't seem to set the origin point on that always default to the center of the scene and align them in a straight line so you could see them all

    A nudge for all sliders: in blender just like daz studio.. You guys would have to change blender interface but if you make it a tickeable option or make it unobtrusive like a right click menu option in blender

    And XYZ scale same as above just like daz people with get good use out of that otherwise you’re left clicking and dragging down every single time

    I just got a email about this but I got a programmer that's gonna work on that nudge thing for me for my next update and I'll share the code He said it's really easy I don't know which one it is but he says that there's an operator in blender set to even do this … do you know which operator Because you could save me 60 bucks….. just FYI in my add on I made my first upgrade of another add on when you install my add on it essentially patches extreme PBR so you can add any material you want to the user library…So any of my ideas you don't want that's where I'll eventually end up is making patches… take care and thanks for the incredibly long amount of time it takes to scroll to the bottom of your interface I think you guys might have the tallest add on

    that being said You guys should implement a search bar right at the top soI could search for any property or at least a collapse and expand button
