Re: Anybody interested in a qt app for tinkering with scntoc data ?

[Alok]

Hi Raff, I already have the parser done based on top of the good ol python xml.dom.minidom. And it works fine. What I did was this: parse the scntoc, display contents to the user in a pretty format with some buttons to set res and what not and then rewrite the xml(scntoc). All this is already done and working good in production. This is all in PPG and it has sorting based on colors and names and all other fancy features for which I pushed the PPG's as much as I can. What I am proposing is to have it all in an standalone qt app which would not be hard to do now that I have all the hard work already done.

What would it offer more than that? Because unless it's supposed to become very xsi centric in look and added functionality it might be a fair bit of work before it can go toe to toe with the better xml and schema editors out there. It's a good idea, I would definitely at least have a look at one, but before you embark on what might be a very long project if done from scratch you might want to have a peek around and see if there's a 3-clause/BSD out there you can dress up.

This way if you have thousand of ref models in your scene, you can offload them all or set them to low res so your scene opens instantly (in case of offload) or faster (in case of low res). This tool proved very useful in our production. Now I am thinking of taking all the code and wrap it in a QT gui so that scntocs can be opened and written outside softimage as well. I was thinking how many people out there would like such a tool or is everybody already using such thing. Just asking so that I do not end up putting some personal time on a tool nobody needs. Of course it will be open source and all python. -- -- Our users will know fear and cower before our software! Ship it! Ship it and let them flee like the dogs they are!
