I was wondering if someone could write a script that would filter the current comp to show only chosen items. Here's how I think it would work: Open script click on type of item(s) to show ie Solids and Nulls ... the script then sets all layers except Solids and nulls to Shy and hides them.
I think this would be good for easily hiding things like Nulls, Cameras, Solids and stuff that you just don't need to see all the time.
I think there should be a filter switch right at the top of the timeline bar where you just click on the objects you want to show, but that's just me.
