W_backdropper

W_backdropper is a tool that makes creating backdrops and sticky notes easier and color codes them for you automatically. Assign specific colors to keywords in the preferences panel, in a similar way you can set default colors for nodes. Making it a lot easier to keep your scripts organized and consistent.

When hitting the shortcut, a dialog will pop up that let's you enter a label (can be left blanc). A backdrop r stickynote will be created with that label, and based on the label a color will be set.

The tool also features an 'autocolor' option that recognizes keywords containing colors.

For example, when labeling a backdrop 'green house in far bg', the word 'green' will be recognized and the backdrop will therefore be colored green. Additional descriptors like 'dark' or 'light' will be taken into account. You can of course disable this functionily in the preferences, or change the order of importance (custom keywords over autocolors or vice versa).

Underneath Edit/Nodes/W_backdropper functions can be found to run the script on previously created nodes, to make all your scripts nice and consistent.


New in v2:
