Re: tree selection when changing skins by clicking in the Skins view, I agree it would be better not to select the skin in the tree. We have the same situations in the Animations view. Right click will select it in the tree if needed, so maybe it's better left click doesn't change the tree selection. We'll consider this and make the change in 3.9, as we are no longer making changes to 3.8.
Have you tried clicking an attachment, then new skin placeholder? You can select many attachments and create skin placeholders for them all at once. It can help to filter the tree so it only shows attachments, then you click the first and shift+click the last, then new placeholder
done!
Re: new skin placeholder names, sure it has been done in 3.9. :beer:
Forgot to mention, the next and previous skin hotkeys are very convenient and don't affect the tree selection in 3.8. It's ctrl+,
and ctrl+.
by default, easy to remember because on qwerty keyboards those keys also have <
and >
glyphs.
