I'm desperatly searching for Scatter script / plugin that takes animated
objects into account (sources and target). I know this could be solved
with PFlow, but I doubt that I'm the first in need for such a Scatter tool,
as there are quite a view, but all non-animated...

Maybe someone can bring this up for christmax :)

All the best, Rob

PS: Sorry, I forgot to add, that I want to scatter several different objects,
what's not possible with Scatter Compound.

I think everyone would agree that scatter is fairly limited, but why not use PFlow?
You said it yourself; it does what you want...

Because a Scatter modifier or object would be easier to setup.
Sometimes I just want to have simple Scatters and don't even
want to open the PFlow window ...

Best, Rob

Hmmm. Maybe a script would be in the right direction?

Pick 1+ source and 1 target objects,
Select position, rotation and scale options
Click "Scatter"...

...then a PFlow is created with base parameters.

Unfortunately, scatter has pretty limited functionality, so I'm afraid pflow is probably your best bet, even though it will take more time to setup.
