Adding "Presets" to the "Save X Preset" Behavior

mmdestiny

Hi folks,

Is it possible to, or has anyone already, add preset/shortcut behavior to the "Save X Preset" dialog menus?

For instance, say you have a ton of shoe products that you want to save as wearable presets with poses embedded (Feet pose controls and bone TSRs).  Using "Check only modified is generally bad practice because it won't capture the pose controls that are 0's and if you're applying a wearable preset to a character you want them zeroed out if they were already in use.  That is a LOT of clicks each save to expand the drop downs all the way to Left/Right Foot and Pose Controls>Feet.

Being able to save a preset behavior to that dropdown that contains "Check," "Check only," "Uncheck" etc would be so useful.  Like, you click the hamburger button and there's a "Check Only Feet Poses" or "Check Only Breast Poses" option.

There ae some related scripts showing how to set up and save with particular settings

However, the File>Save As menu is generated rather than defined and I don't think this will add new filters to the menu.
