Could be cool if the instances had id and you could read write information to them like
tv_getInstanceString layerId iPosition
id = result
tv_ReadInstanceString id
tv_WriteInstanceString id
should be Projekt dependable.

You can use image mark to set an id in a frame
tv_layermarkset layerID imageNumber ColorIndex
ColorIndex can be any number

Instance IDs would open up a whole new way of utilizing the timeline. It will allow coloring instances in different image mark colors like keyframes, extremes etc.), shouldn't it?

When using scripting with TVPaints scripting languange George. Each layers have a specific id a number that makes it easier to detect each layer. I thought if ecah instance had an ID it would make the scriting easier. As Herve had proposed I can optain this effect with the imagemarks. Now almost a half year after the request I can see a havn't used HErves Suggestion so I guess it was a poor requst after all.
