Is it possible to make the search function loop. Now when doing a search and you at the end of doc, you need scroll to the top. Click to set cursor, then you can search again. This is tedious and a lot of hustle. Optional functions like search selection or direction would be nice as well

I think i got a cleaner solution for the part adding it to the color palette. Adding it as a sub-panel is much cleaner and also confirm Blenders UI. This setup also allows for possible expansion. I want to see if i can add more file types like XML and CSS for instance

Do i need to make a pull request on this repo? I found a couple of Blender Github pages, 2 seem legit. Im not sure which is the real one. I guess the blender.org linked one.
https://github.com/blender/blender-addons/tree/master/io_import_palette

PS in my personal addon i got it also to work with the paint addon which comes with Blender now. Is it an idea to add this in the preferences, so a user can decide to add the imported palettes to that one as well? I tried looking into adding a preset, but its setup is completely different. I am able to add the colors. But adding a palette for that one is hard for me to achieve

Well many hours later now, i finally got it working properly. It took me ages to find test files for Krita. I only found gpl (gimp) files. I have not found their new palette file KPL yet. I noticed with GPL files that sometimes there are empty lines, so i now skip over those. Also here i go the naming for the palette properly working now. I also added function that it makes the palette active, i think that is what a user wants right?

I see that the structure of an ASE file from photoshop is different than the one from https://color.adobe.com/

Just noticed a new issue. ASE files exported from Photoshop on OSX dont seem to get imported, i dont see any error. I did export a version with more than the standard 5 colors they normally have.

Okay took a while to get it to work. Basically this uses exact same code as mine. But they stripped out the exporter part and also implemented a different method for importing the 2 separate importers. The issue is that the original script sends a the results to itself again when it find the word "swatches". But the mehtod they use now for loading filepath causes big issues with that.

Using that version from Github also allows you to export to ASE files. I also get Pablos part to work using the normal palette in Blender

PS lots of code looks same as the source ive found on github. The one from github import the data without issues.
https://github.com/nsfmc/swatch

Not sure why, but this "Testing" is not there. I normally manually move over addons from addon_contrib folder to main addon folder. Why not add a sub-section in the addon panel or add that folder to the enum-menu?

I just tried 2.81 by making a texture without saving and making new document. It did ask me to save and also showed the checkmark. I tried it again reopening and doing again some strokes and again it showed the checkbox.

@Rombout Versluijs (rombout) Amaranth is in the community section now.

Anyone got an idea why its no more in 2.82?

First i thought that custum properties would not update as well, but they work fine. Its with the frame_change_post when it does not work.

Thanks @Damien Picard (pioverfour) for pointing in the correct direction. Ill make a bug post for this.

I know this is an old post, but why do custom properties dont update when doing animation render?

Guys, i found another issue perhaps. This addon is call counter. It can add a couple methods to show a counter in in render frame. In the viewport and on single renders it works just fine. But when rendering an animation the property doesnt update?

Im not sure i followed along properly. BUt when saving filmic look in EXR it does not show or save the FILMIC look into it. I tried both Full and Half Float as well all compression methods. It does get save to 8/16 TIFF though?

Im running into the same issue on OSX 10.11.6 using bl 2.81 Beta

Here's another interesting comparing shot. Ive used a cylinder which tapers on the inside from thin to thick. Than i used the same mat, but each time had 2 of the Scatter Radius settings to 1 but leave on at 0. Notice how the one with green at zero shows a lot of green on the surface. While the other dont show that, the blue does show it a bit, but red does, not.

Ive tried making simple scene with the material from scratch. It didnt show the effect that strong, so i imported the material and made it as plain as possible.

Yes, vertex groups are a bit weird, since data is shared across mesh & object datablocks.
IIRC, this is all index based, so it should still work if you add step 5:

01 add object sphere
02. Add vertex group and shapekeys (just click +)
03 Add new sphere and link mesh data
04 Notice that vertex groups dont show on the other sphere, yet shapeskeys do.
05 If you now just add (+) a first vertex group to the new sphere, this will point to the first vertex group data on the shared mesh, weights should automatically show up. OR
05 use `Copy Vertex Groups to Linked` like @radcapricorn suggested

Bit more info here T55049: Vertex group information corrupt when changing mesh data for an object with vertex groups.
But this is not really a bug, it is "unconventional" (bad, cough) design, and it can be worked around.
So I guess we have to close this (feel free though to comment again if issues persist...)

Vertex groups are weird, their data is part of the mesh data block, but the groups themselves belong to object. Alt+D should work though, what do you mean by "not the same"?
You can transfer groups to linked objects via a menu, in vertex groups there's a button with a down arrow under the "+"/"-" buttons. Click that, and you should find an option to Copy Vertex Groups to Linked.

I know you can copy, but only when some other mesh is selected. If its a object base group, then a dropdown selector could be useful perhaps?!

I had this same question and made a post about it as well. Than why is it show under data panel? Is it so that its close to the data properties, that does make it easier. But its very confusing of why these are not transferred.

I bumped into these after perhaps finding an issue with the Subsurface scattering radius. Values of 0 results in color tone of that RGB channel.

Bake all in general doesnt do anything. It my last test, also cloth or other items wont start baking when using "Bake all". I haven tested 2.81 or latest build though.

I see new build, 2.81 (sub 14), branch: master, commit date: 2019-10-06 14:05, hash: rB54a9649e2636, works now. I do see lots of errors from keymaps, not sure which addon this produces these errors though. This is just a small part of the errors

I tried this build blender-2.81-3b23685c7dc1 1 October 23:38 and it does crash. Though i get a different error now.

I checked it again. I made a mistake here, i use a shortcut to 2.81 to run it so i have the console. It started an old version which still works

Downloaded it this morning from https://builder.blender.org/download/

Just wanted to let you know this build works; 2.81 (sub 9), 6be3348505ce, 2019-09-09 17:22

I see this is closed, is there a build which i can test? I tried the one from Blender official site, but that doesnt work yet. That was a build from Sunday (September 29, 23:15:39 - ff10ff782bde)

What does that mean "revert to the old spinlock for now"? Probably that is in context to that article you linked @Brecht Van Lommel (brecht)

Today i see this

I think this is useful but a more robust and general solution has to be found to make rigify handle custom widget/metarigs/colorschemes. A giant step forward was done implementing the import of custom rigs from rigify preferences.
I think is nice to hace this addon out there while we figure out what can be done to make this options available in rigify itself.
Cheers,
Ivan

More robust, in what method? The current method is sort of hidden and to tedious. The only thing my addon does is save your adjust Meta Rig using the operator which is already in Rigify, but sort if hidden, than its saves it to a preset folder. Because i prefer more customized saving method, it looks perhaps to complicated. You can use Blender standard method for saving presets, but than means one big messy folder. Mine looks a bit messy cause of the naming i guess. Its quite simple what it actually does, nothing fancy

Okay, but why is i such a hustle to add a sequence of images then? Should this be as easy as in the rest of the app, seems inconsistent behavior to me

Here's an old video but actually shows really well what the issue is adding image sequence in the VSE. It show that the adding a checkbox makes it so much easier to add a image sequence

I looked at this addon today because i wanted to test animation export. I needed to get some animation in bl 2.79 and to do so i used the MeshCache modifier. We have 2 options here either use MMD or PC2, im not really familiar with both. BUt i remember seeing a tutorial from quite some years ago which used MMD.

I just bumped into this thread looking at some updates done on addons. Last year i made an addon which allows for much easier custom MetaRig save. This option is already in the addon, but it only saves a py file and thus not handy for reuse. Therefor i made the addon which easily saves your custom MetaRig so you can load when Blender is reloaded, it will show in the add menu. The addon can also save rig settings.

Sweet, so its fixed i guess. Im not sure if all is fixed. Is there more info on that?

I understand, but this worked in release candidates and prior. I did not see any info that bl_idname for menus explicitly needs _mt_ in the idname as well. That's not quite clear on the info page

I'm not sure how it went from broken and issue with updates to a fixed version. Weren't there issues with the depsgraph?

Yes sorry for missing file. Ive tried adding the minimal parts need to reproduce this. Prior this would work when only the Class header had _MT_ in it. I think since release candidate 1 or 2 it stopped. Until yesterday i didn't looked at it. but had to since i wanted to update an addon. I noticed that now the bl_idname also needs _MT_ in it properly. Yet operators still work using say qs.quick_switch.

I was testing out this behavior as i was pointed out by this user, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Cr2e_gkee0&lc=UgwE81_uDcx-w6oNP6F4AaABAg.8yhppHkBkzR8yhwznBuODn, that by pressing ctrl + N still allows to start a new file without the prompt. Im on OSX and do see the prompt now and then. Yet today i tried this ctrl + N or cmd + N and it still happens. Either with a blanc new scene with simple movement of camera or an open scene which is not yet saved. I can quite and no prompt shows.

My workaround is, add keyframe UV and Points in object mode. Then it worked for me.

PS this updated version is changed quite heavily how it adds keys. Should it first check which of the boolean is checked and then do the looping of all parts?
It seem this version will loop over the mesh even if everything is unchecked.

I was pointed out here by this thread on BlenderArtist. I did a quick update last night and noticed that the UV animation part isnt working properly like in bl 2.79

I noticed this today as well on 2 different models. I havent done much rigging so i first did some research what it actually was. The error message isnt super clear. I was using 2.80 and that tried 2.79b and it showed the same. One model had quite some None Manifolds and separate meshes but the other didnt.

Okay i understand. I probably have mistaken something.

Here see link below, even manual says it.
https://docs.blender.org/api/2.80/bpy.ops.object.html#bpy.ops.object.make_local
https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/2.80/files/linked_libraries.html#bpy-ops-object-make-local

I dont follow you? A name "Make local" for a local file doesnt make sense at all.

Yes still nothing, just tried this version

I see this is closed, but i still see this behavior. Feel it should be executed globally or give the user the option to only do this on object level. If users a tought properly to name a scene, then we also need to be able to properly sort a scene.

I think the presets are handy and will make it easier for newcomers.

Why isnt this update now? Its now even worse, the icons show all the same when checking draw brushes

Okay sounds reasonable. But feels strange having it for one but not the other. The menu's are faster than scrolling to the top and find it. This again makes things more difficult vs 2.79

Hey, thanks for committing this!
Maybe it would be better to keep out the outliner part though, until someone manage to give it a look and to make it work properly.

I also run into this issue today. Tried everything within my knowledge but it wont work. SIngle bake does work , but thats not useful with multiple items. How did they do the open movie projects without this?!?!?

Okay, but what is the difference with "none" compared to the others? When its set to None it acts the same as the other methods, so not sure what it should do then? It looks like None will use the prior chosen one, which makes it a bit weird as a setting. I would think None is as in 2d, like the old method.

As a note, this build 2.80 (sub 72), 9bae9b634ec6, 2019-05-28 21:07 now has this fixed. I dont see those OT "errors" in the menu

Yeah i had it working couple days after this submit. I wanted to make a revamp of the renderlayers and how it looked the old way. I miss that panel and find doing this in the top right more tedious than how it was. Yet i could not find info at that time how i could get the data needed from the viewlayers.

I still see this happening in 2.80, edbf15d3c044, master, 2018-11-28, also like @Jose L. Carmelo (Jose) C. noted earlier, deleting the Collection from the object panel also delete the mesh, which makes no sense.

I tried a different build but it shows the same hash code, so cant tell yet if it works
2.80 (sub 60), branch: blender2.7, commit date: 2019-05-07 19:17, hash: rB3dc9da3a74ee

I did, but last build is from may 7th???
2.80 (sub 60), branch: blender2.7, commit date: 2019-05-07 19:17, hash: rB3dc9da3a74ee

I did some searching and i guess this is somehow hardcoded. THe only thing i can find for the quick favorites is "SCREEN_MT_user_menu". This is in 2 files, i can find the operator though, so probably that is hardcoded. Yet i wonder where all this data is stored.

I just downloaded this build; 2.80 (sub 60), branch: blender2.7, commit date: 2019-05-07 19:17, hash: rB3dc9da3a74ee
I still dont see it act like 2.79. When the option menu is long like export obj. All it does is fold when i drag it far enough to the bottom.

Then i find it indeed a clumsy method as well. It should overrule the tool i think
