Better product view in the Loader

Currently here is a typical view of some products on a shot:

As you can see, all the products from every task are listed in a flat list. When there’s a lot of tasks and products it becomes quite difficult for the artists to tell which product belongs to what except by reading it’s name.

I have two questions:

  • Would it be possible to toggle a “group by task” view do that products are ordered by the task they were published from ?

  • Currently all the product icons are this blue folder, can we have a custom icon per product type (workfile, render, image, model, …) ?

I think this would really improve the readability of the products when loading them.

Thanks!

You are in for a treat - because check out latest AYON core, just released, with Loader tool: Tasks filtering by iLLiCiTiT · Pull Request #1157 · ynput/ayon-core · GitHub. It doesn’t do the grouping, but it does allow you to quickly filter to tasks!

There’s an existing issue: Enhancement: Set a custom family icon for loader (and other tools) · Issue #745 · ynput/ayon-core · GitHub but it’s not much priority currently.
