"Bad UI"-Quicky #1

Because it's better to enable the "ignore" of a setting than have the setting itself actually enable something...

What's wrong with "Show in Outliner" and "Use Outliner Color"...? This happens when people don't think before implementing stuff.

Another funky maya quirk!

I'm trying to write a function that selects all top level objects that have a child object. In maya that's tricky. First we need to filter out top level objects

{obj for obj in ls(transforms=True) if obj.firstParent2()==None}

This works okay. But figuring out wether it has children is a tough call in maya, because:

1. Group objects are transforms without shape nodes
2. Shape nodes are the first child of transform nodes

Hence when you check a node, you cannot simply ask how many childs it has. If you filter for nodes with one or more children, you're basically get all meshes, cameras, lights and so on. If you filter for two or more, you don't get groups with only one child. Anyhow you need a lot of filtering for what should be a really small issue.
