Hi list,
just wanted to raise my hand for running into the same problem with 2013. Annoying.
Dont know if I kept all the mails regarding this. Was the a fix for this? reason found?
2012 does this fine with the exact same setup for both 2012 and 2013:
- just a single workgroup with only PyQtForSoftimage in it
- no local python installed (using Softimages')
- PyQt site-packages centrally put on the server
2013 will tell you "Library not found: path\to\QtSoftimage.64.dll" (Rightclick>Properties in the PluginManager) - which is bogus.
As a workaround I am checking if Application.Plugins("QtSoftimage") is None and if so do a Application.ReloadAddonLib("path\to\QtSoftimage.64.dll") on the DLL.
Hold on, "ReloadAddonLib()" doesnt seem to do anything, so have to do a full "RescanWorkgroups()". Annoying.
Anyone knows, if there is a more lightweight call than "RescanWorkgroups()" to get this loaded?
sorry if this sounds like ranting. not my greatest day today.
And thanx again Steven and Jo for the effort of bringing PyQt to Softimage. Much appreciated :)

Subject: Re: PYQT dll fails to load in 2013
I have run into a problem once when installing the plugin in a work group, when we where doing an update, there were still users accessin the work group and even though it registered that the Qt plugin was installed and all the files where there, we only got it working when we disconnected every one from the workgroup and did a manual delete of the Qt files and then a reinstall. I found that cleared my headache at the time. Not sure if you have tried this yet.
Cheers

Are there QT dlls in the 2013 install directory?

No, we keep nothing local, I am starting to suspect it is the latest build on our machines as it is a new rollout, it works fine from my laptop running all the same software.
May be one of those strange glitchy windows things…
Thanks for your reply Eric.

Are there any local plugins referencing that plugin in the user plugins?

It doesn’t appear to be workgroup related, it fails to load even when it is the sole workgroup. It is a strange one, as it certainly finds the dll when you manually hit ‘reload’ (without having to trace back the path)

nearest i can figure is something isn't getting loaded in time when Qt asks for it. how many workgroups do you have and what position is it in the list of workgroups?

Hi Folks,
I am having an issue with PYQT (the awesome Steve Caron edition) in Soft 2013, it fails to load the plugin from our network workgroup, if we go to the plugin manager and reload it then works fine.
Has anyone had this happen as yet?
