Reply To: Blender 4.2 LTS and our script are not freinds

I’ve updated the Tidy script so it will switch to pose mode and actually move the bones instead of just assigning it to the collection. I’ve also made it more efficient(I hope). It is the rig_tidey_bone_layers4.0.py.

For those who just want to see the code without having to download:

import bpy
# Get active object
rig = bpy.context.active_object
#Check to make sure it's an armature.
if rig and rig.type == "ARMATURE":
    #Switch to pose mode
    bpy.ops.object.mode_set(mode='POSE')
    #Set array for Collection name and Bone name search
    Type = ["DEF","MCH"]
    #Loop thru Type. First is DEF then MCH.
    for TName in Type:
        if TName == "DEF":
            Deform = True
        else:
            Deform = False
        #Get collection
        tcol = rig.data.collections.get(TName)
        #If collection doesn't exist then create it
        if not tcol:
            tcol = rig.data.collections.new(TName)
        #Add dash to the Type for searching. 
        TN = TName+"-"
        #loop thru all bones
        for bone in rig.pose.bones:
            #Make sure bone isn't selected
            bone.bone.select = False
            #Check if bone name contains the search type. DEF- or MCH-
            if bone.name.startswith(TN):
                bone.bone.select = True
                bone.bone.use_deform = Deform
                bone.lock_location = [True, True, True]
                bone.lock_scale = [True, True, True]
                bone.lock_rotation = [True, True, True]
                if bone.rotation_mode in ['AXIS_ANGLE','QUATERNION']:
                    bone.lock_rotation_w = True
        #Moves all selected bones in pose mode to the collection.
        bpy.ops.armature.move_to_collection(collection_index=tcol.index)
