IK Fingers Custom Bones (Enable/Disable)

[Eder Rogerio Deana Juliette]

Thomas, if that is not too much trouble, could you set an enable/disable button in the mhx panel for the custom ik fingers and config it as disabled, initially after the conversion.

While I think ik fingers are helpful, I don't use them most of the time. So having the custom bones always active is distracting.

Maybe, as an option for not to pollute the enable/disable panels, the layers for these bones could be enabled/disabled automatically when we set on/off the for the ik fingers in the properties panel.

There already are properties for Finger IK. They are called Left/Right Finger IK, and are located just below the Long Fingers properties (which are overridden by Finger IK). But I agree that property should control the visibility of the ik finger bones, because now the viewport is cluttered with bones that normal don’t do anything.

I moved the finger ik bones to the same layers as the long fingers (Left/Right Hand). The visibility is driven, so the ik bones and the long fingers are only visible when they do something, and never at the same time.

Thanks, Thomas. That works nicely.
