QuickHighlight is an efficient tool for automatically highlighting selected objects in the Blender Outliner. The addon expands objects and bones (in pose mode) only once when the selection changes, ensuring fast performance and minimal system load. It is perfect for users looking to enhance productivity and avoid unnecessary Outliner updates.

Functionality Overview

Automatic Highlighting:

• The addon tracks user selection in the 3D viewport and automatically highlights the corresponding objects in the Outliner.
• The ability to highlight objects that belong to more than one collection.

Settings:
The addon includes settings available in the addon’s parameters:
