If one wants to change an option name, Nuke seems to be doing some
string comparison of some sort when loading an old projects to best match
It's slightly confusing to understand what it does. I have no problem
with that other that it's not clear how to change.
Is it possible to have an official explanation of kOfxParamTypeChoice -
kOfxParamPropChoiceOption
which one sets via mHost->mPropHost->propSetString(props,
kOfxParamPropChoiceOption, i, choice_name);
where i is an index till number of elements in popup menu ?
Right now Nuke saves something like for a popup choice menu called menuMode
menuMode "Option Name"
Also been doing this request since v4.7 beta OFX support, Nuke is the
only OFX host that does not support animated popups and booleans.
Boolean there is no excuse but I have been trying to think how you would
add this to menu given how you save parameter to file right now
Yes we can create integer parameter for each popup but it makes UI real
clumsy and hard to read and use and yes we can use the tidbit thing to
list the integer values choice by name
Maybe a way would be for Nuke to add in file a second line in file for
these when set to animatable, (took me a while to come up with this
simple idea):
menuMode "PutFirstChoiceNameIfThereIsKF"
anim.menuMode { {"string1","string2", "string3"} {x1 1 x2526 2} }
//just saves all the menu option name for evolutionary purposes, and
here the KF would be from frame 1 to 2525 = index 1, and from frame 2526
index 2
this way I think it would not break previous projects as Nuke would not
recognize anim.menuMode so would skip it
one could change name and order of string (if it was a bit more clear
what Nuke does)
and new versions would inherit animation
Would be a line of code change + a switch in description based on Nuke
version to implement on my side.
And would not break anything.
that was my big tiny change rerequest of today,
Pierre
