Blender Script: Select the objects instantiated

Here I am, after a long pause.

Finally (and I mean really: FINALLY!) I integrated into my blender production flow, using it as the core software in a new job that I am following.

soon as I have more time I'm going to publish a small study on the organization of the new pipeline, but for now are mostly full and I am considering which rendering engine will join the team permanently retired once 3DStudioMax (Thea and VRay are candidates because of the progress of the exporter blender).

Anyway ... I write?

Why work with Blender on a scene with a number of instances I noticed that the outliner unfortunately does not have all the functions of selection that provides Max Then, in full open source philosophy, I decided to write scripts to do this work:)

This is a "beta" of a switch instances: instances of the active search and select. Very simple, very stupid if you want but loooong comfortable.

soon I'll know better use the API of Blender 2.6 I want to expand and integrate a pop-up.
