Of course I can rename the object directly by doing the rename directly in
setData:
def setData(self, role, value):
if role == QtCore.Qt.EditRole:
self.customItem.rename(value)
Making the Display role also showing correctly as it should.
I'll have to remove the "Rename Objects" button as the rename is happening
directly on edit.
Now that I have a custom item type in my ui (pymel node), I can do commands
on the node directly(as above). Which I want to avoid if possible.
Till now I have kept the Qt code separate from Maya code. I have one file
with the ui code and another file with maya code. They interact through the
controller using signals. (These methods learnt from Practical Maya
Programming in Python Book) I like the efficiency of keeping them separate
.
I have a test function in the ui code so I can run the ui on a console with
mayapy and see how it works. Since I made a custom item now, i had to
import pymel in the test function. This takes a few mini-seconds to load.
def objs_list():
from pymel.core import createNode
#objs = []
objs = [createNode('polyCube'),
createNode('polySphere'),
createNode('polyCone'),
createNode('polyCylinder')]
return objs
def load_objs():
controller.objList.emit(objs_list())
I have the tool working acceptable now. These questions are just to know
what is the preferred, efficient or "pythonic" way to write.
Hope you can give me some inputs on how am I doing.
Thanks for taking the time to answer. :)
