Idea for Script Editor

Idea for Script Editor
I feel that a scaled down image of the object to which a script belongs would be a good thing; especially when cards have a large number of objects, and where the user's screen size means that the script editor overlaps
the object that is having its script edited.

Might actually be easy enough to do with an IDE plugin..

Turning on thumbnails in Preferences for the new Project Browser effectively serves the same purpose, and is very good indeed.

This illustrates how the Project Browser does almost exactly what I suggested re the ScriptEditor.

HOWEVER . . . it would still be really nice in the ScriptEditor as I am not sure how many people
are going to use the Project Browser on a regular basis.
