Using "Select>Save Selection" in Illustrator 5.1 I'm linking compound paths in multiple layers that need to maintain their relative positions to each other. The problem's that some of my work requires many of these selections per file and that's where the current AI implementation falls short. I'd like to be able to organize these selections in a tree view structure and have that in an always open palette where I could add, delete, rename and categorize them.
I've been looking at the reference materials, object model and Peter Kahrel's "ScriptUI for Dummies". At first appearance it doesn't look like this is even doable without some more advanced knowledge judging by the posts I've seen here. In particular, this discussion points to using "Bridge Talk" to maybe roll your own version of a selection set ui. This would be a tremendously useful feature however I'm too far behind the curve to do this in a reasonable time frame on my own. I would be willing to put some time into this but my real hope is that someone has already done it or a good portion of it and is willing to share some insight and/or code.
