def find_if_selectable():

    # Get all unselected objects
    for c1 in bpy.data.collections:
        for o1 in c1.all_objects:
            if o1.hide_select:
                SELECTABLE_OBJECTS.append(o1)
       
    # Remove duplicate strings, then output final list names
    d1 = [*set(SELECTABLE_OBJECTS)]
    for a1 in d1:
        print("Unselectable object: " + a1.name)

    # Get all scene objects + selected objects in Outliner
    for w in bpy.context.window_manager.windows:
        for a in w.screen.areas:
            if a.type == "OUTLINER":
