'find' command not respecting current partition

2013-06-13 Thread Simon van de Lagemaat
Does this drive anyone else up the damn wall? You have an object selected and when you hit F to find it in the partitions in explorer it takes you to an inactive partition? HAIR PULLING Sorry for the rant.

It's only slightly more annoying than when the Explorer is *sure* you want to find the object in a random group rather than in the hierarchy. On 13 June 2013 18:19, Simon van de Lagemaat si...@theembassyvfx.comwrote: Dooohhh... ya pass not partition sorry. On Thu, Jun 13, 2013 at 10:15 AM,

Anyone got a tip to convert a customproperty to a regular customparamset?

2013-06-13 Thread Alan Fregtman
Hey guys, I have a customproperty defined in a plugin and it is used in a few assets, but I no longer care for the plugin and just want it to be a regular customparamset, however, Softimage complains that the plugin doesn't exist. Is there a trick to converting a customproperty to a paramset

2013-06-13 Thread Matt Lind
Once you've deployed the custom property, it needs to be supported until you've removed it from all content which uses it. The primary difference between a custom property and a customparamset is structure. Customparamsets are a generic custom property for end users to do quick and dirty

Well, *somebody* thought it was a *brilliant* idea to be making whole new plugins for character-specific rig properties, just because they wanted a ppglayout. (None of these properties had any logic whatsoever.) I'm looking to migrate those to a GenericProperty property like:

2013-06-13 Thread Matt Lind
In that case you definitely don't want to migrate to a customparamset. You want to convert to a more intelligently designed custom property. I don't see the need for storing the PPGLayout code as a string as _DefineLayout() or _OnInit() could house that code. You can also load PPGLogic from

In retrospect, I worded my thread wrong. I meant converting one customproperty to another. I guess it's too much to ask of the software. I don't need Logic. I just want a way to make logic-free ppgs with infinitely different persistent layouts. The SI Blog post is what I'm after (unless there's

If you store the PPGLogic externally in a file, you can dynamically call different logic files depending on what you want to display. The callbacks can then be married to what is displayed. This is useful for one-to-many relationships like this or in cases where the data gets embedded into

So how do I set this up in a scripted environment using Jscript? Jscript doesn't use the PPGEvent object. Using traditional Jscript logic of putting the parameter name in the callback function's name doesn't seem to work. That is, if the grid parameter is called data, then data_OnClicked()
