In the developer's words
A plugin for component instance inspection and selection.
Better manage the use of any component library, find missing main components, fine tune your selections for editing (eg: avoid nested instances), make large selections and act on it (Select > Detach).
Features
- Flexible instance selection: adjust the filters > select all instances.
- Inspect main component info for each instance: local/remote, existing/missing.
- Search by term: exact match with
"term"or"term). - Search in current selection to find children instances for any node type: sections, frames, etc.
- Filter out nested instances: allows working only with instances inside main. components, so that nested ones can inherit the changes without overrides.
- Filter visible/hidden instances.
- Filter up-to-date/outdated instances.
- Filter local/remote components.
- Filter missing/existing components.
