Update October 2020

fixed an infinite loop bug caused by slow connector updates
removed web server button - new locking widget replaces the web ui based locking
added the option to replace the scene workspace layers node if it is an older version, question is asked when the toolbar button is pressed and an old version is found in the scene.

Got PM from trueBlue telling me that I forgot to remove the webui plugin warning message and that the question dialog is hiding behind the main tS window.
Fixed and thanks .

Update Oct 25 2020

fixed: double connector links on grandchildren when child node is added to a different layer than its parent node. this was trying to put the nodes into 2 different layers at one time
fix: visibility now changes with layer assignment of object so if the layer is marked as invisible when you add an item it also becomes invisible

changed the way items are counted. groups are ignored for layer counts. better correlation between what you see and what gets counted

added a button for manually updating a scenes layer node to the latest version installed

Update Jan 12 2021

works with new NURBS objects
removed "deep visibility" processing
option to select the control point mesh of NURBS objects when using Select from the menus
option to protect the color of curves from layer changes

Just Found a locking BUG, stand by for update

[clintonman]

Fixed the locking and unlocking bug. It was placing the locking node in the wrong place
Also increased the efficiency overall. There was a lot of unnecessary recursion so this may make the whole thing run faster.

Ugh, just found a new problem. It's not working with groups properly.

Edit: No, my mistake, it never worked. So it's not a new problem caused by the update.

1.) The Replace Layers Node script does not work with the menu
IE: I set a Layer named Camera and Locked it - menu L
Ran the Replace Layers Node script
Changes the layer menu to Camera - menu
The Camera is still locked
Didn't your last version replace the existing Workspace Layers 3 only if it was an older version?
Seems this should also work with the toolbar LMB command with a modal Question

2.) Refresh does the same thing to the menu

3.) Initialize Layers removes the saved layer name and colors
Your Copy Attributes script works great for this

UT Oh!

Got an error that would not close
Had to Ctrl + Alt + Delete, End Rosetta

If it finds the old style of workspace layers it will ask a question, do you want to replace.
The button is just for replacing whether old or new.
