viewerMod

This viewer modifier enables the user to lock the viewer's buffers.

When in the viewer window, press 's' to bring the viewer's properties up. A new tab called 'buffers' appears. In there you can lock any of the buffers.

I was missing this feature for ages until I decided to implement it myself ...

It works fine for me ... but I'd love to hear from other people about this ... Not everybody does the same things and I would like to make it fully functional for any situation ... so please gimme feedback!!!

.p!

PS: the code is full of comments because this is a work in progress. A cleaner code will be available after getting some feedback ... or maybe sooner!!

PS2: add this into your menu.py. It will create a new tab to replace the viewer's buffers shortcuts. I totally ignore this new tab, I mean that I never make it visible ...
