The statusbar at the bottom of the orthoview now gives you: name, position, rotation and scale if you click on an object.
I would very much like to see the status there as well. Because a lot of times when debugging or validating a model you have to wacht the status, but now you have to click on an object, go to properties, go to the right tabpage and then you have this big gui that takes up a large part of your screen and you are only interested in getting the status!

And maybe also put in the name in between square brackets or some other divider because the difference between the name and the word Position is sometimes a bit difficult to see. The square brackets would make it similar to the other information

So I was wondering if other people feel the same before I put it on the request list?

I have also wished many times that the status bar would show the object State for debugging. I modified a screenshot so we can see your ideas.

Kris,

You would do a great job as a mind reader:). Thank you for the bitmap, that makes it so much clearer.

I totally agree with you guys. The status bar could be more useful if it has more information there.

Ok, if 3 superusers tell me it is a good idea, that is good enough for me. I'll put it on the list.

I like the idea too. But sometimes some objects's name is too long, it's difficult to display them in the bar.
