 This is a list of plugin ideas that have been vetted and will at some point in time be available for voting by patrons.
+===== Paste Image =====
+Paste an image from the clipboard as an image into LW.
+Use https://github.com/dacap/clip for cross platform clipboard access.
+===== Item Placement =====
+Placing an item on the surface of another item, based on the Polygon Picker intersection code. This would also, optionally, re-parent.
+===== Copy / Paste Keys =====
+Copy / paste keys for the currently selected item.
+===== Octane Layers =====
+Like Layout Groups, but for Octane Layers. One Layer per item only.
+Tag: '' Octane_RenderLayer=3''
+===== Motion Path Visualiser =====
+A custom object that's attached to an item and will display the motion path of the item.
+===== Mixer / Composite Node =====
+Differently from our mixer node, which allows just two inputs, this one can have infinite inputs. Each one has its mask, and can have different % value and blending mode. BTW in second image you have just two inputs, but you can add as many as you need.
+Basically it's same layer system as Photoshop. This would really help in keeping nodeflows compact, atm if we need to mix a lot of texture we have to blend two, then ad another mixer with third one, then another, etc. - and flow becomes quite complex.

+===== Selections =====
+Additional selections: Groups and Instancers
+Click on an instance and select the instancer.
+Click on an item and select the group.
+Groups are defined by nulls hosting a special plugin or stored as item comments.
+Groups can be created and removed using plugins.
+Based on [[tools:polygon-picker]]
+===== Single Input, Multiple Outputs =====
+Take a single scalar input to drive any amount of outputs by distributing the value. With different spline based interpolations.
+===== Copy Deformer =====
+Copies positions of deformed vertices from one mesh (or a list of meshes) to the current one. Similar to morph mixer.
+Based on the same vertex count, if possible also based on the vertex position.
+May be modified by weight maps.
+This would allow for multiple skeletons driving the same mesh deformation.
+===== Visibility Toggle =====
+Toggles the visibility of special items such as targetting lines in a way similar to qckPck.
+===== "Charlotte" - Onion Skinning for Bones =====
+Display the animation of bones in the current item as an onion skin.
+===== Channel Panel =====
+A single, non-modal panel that contains all envelopes related to the current selection.
+Beyond the basic channels common to all items, specific channels for meshes, lights or cameras will be displayed if available as well.
+The panel has a custom scrollbar to scroll vertically if required.
+Multiple channels can be selected and their value changed by dragging left/right in the viewport.
+The plugin is implemented as a Master plugin with a LWPanels interface and a gizmo for the dragging information.
+Filters can be defined and stored as a preset. The filters work by including/excluding partial strings.
 ===== UV Massaging =====
@@ Line 7: / Line 99: @@
 Takes the output of a projection node and massages the UVs:
-- Rotation
+  - Rotation
-- scale
+  - Scale
-- offset
+  - Offset
 Automate tiling
@@ Line 24: / Line 116: @@
 The node will either use the sprites as a (looping) animation or will allow for picking individual pictures within the sprite sheet.
+This includes a tool to create a sprite sheet within LW as well.
 ===== Object selector =====
