This is perhaps an old thread. But if we run scripts for nodes. Why does this material cause issues. I see it has node_tree but it has no node attribute or property?
Its from grease pencil i believe. Ive run into this issue before and used an if not mat.name == "Dot Stroke": to skip over it

@Alexander Gavrilov (angavrilov) That test is also a bit weird. When i open it in bl.293 and start moving the empty color change works. As soon as i select the cube and then the empty again it stops working.

Will the rest of these options get love? Really would love see a perhaps more useful select method when in Object-mode

Really wondering why in object mode this is intended. In edit mode it does select either verts, edges or faces under the cursor. Most times this "origin only" makes it kinda hard to use. Wonder what the idea behind using it on origins only is?

Wonder why bgl is still there when some of these core features have been taken out?
Is there more info about that?

What perhaps is confusing is that the collection does not have an indicator showing its a "multi-user" like copy-linked shows on say a cube. Its not visible clear whats is happening actually.
Only way we can see it, i guess, is context menu from a collection > unlink. That only indicates its a linked item. Should it show somewhere its a multi-user like it does with single objects?

Ive noticed this same behavior when i opened a file created in bl2.93.5 from windows on my osx machine using 2.83. I know it warns me for compatibility and such, but seeing this issue has been stated couple times here in devtalk. I thought i would add this comment.

Just looked at face maps again and that earlier proposal seems to work out of the box by itself. This approach needs a user to set it up manual, if i understood the other one correct. Both seem to have the same goal.

This looks like tha initial FaceMap idea, what happened to that?

@Laux Maux (lauxmaux) That is a solution, but that not the issue im talking about. Im talking about the info the "Auto Weight Paint" returns when it know about where the error is. IF it knows there a 3 or more verts in close proximity, why no return that info to the user. The current error feedback is kinda useless for helping a user know where or what the issue is

Just a question about this, what are the same settings in the World panel actually for?

Ps ive also added an update to "Optimal Display", basically, when this is activated "Draw All Edges" doesnt react to the checkbox, it only works when "Optimal" is off.

I think this looks cleaner and more how the "new" blender ui style is defined

It would be nicer if it would ` col = flow.column()` That way its responsive. Narrow panel will show a single column, wider will show 2-colums. I even think this should be a sub-panel, just like the panel below it.

in 2.8 branch when i try to add a template_list using PointerProperty, its returns an error that it needs a CollectionProperty. The issue i see with this is that the filer operator does not work now?

Yes, I mentioned that quite a while ago in a comment to you: "But do you see those files when you select Filter / "Show Hidden" within file File Browser itself?"

I have found my resolution, in the file browser there is this other "Show hidden" checkbox. When i use this it does hide hidden files and folders. Though i also noticed something else. The checkbox in that filter only works for folders. When i use "Hide dot files" in the preferences, then files also show.

But do you see those files when you select Filter / "Show HIdden" within file File Browser itself?

No i dont see those on Windows, i only see dot files, dot folders and ,_* files when i activated "Show hidden files" in the Window OS.

Well i just now noticed that on OSX its actually broken. see the same path. Even within the option "hide dot file" off, i dont see anything.

Indeed, that was something I was trying to explain as well. The manual kinda contradicts itself in the explanation. I guess a more clear description would be nice and perhaps a tip of using a weld modifier to solve possible issue when double vertes or the zero can be fixed that way

For those interested, you can find it here. I added width and height. The panel is a different vs the normal one, we dont see the hamburger menu in the bottom left. You can still save it from the "Preferences" button you see at the bottom

Also because i restore all values right after the window is called, none of the settings which affects the render window is touched. It could be quite annoying if you need to redo your render output dimension all the time. Also this plain script would have been added to the default in order to have it always available, but older projects would still miss it. Thats why i though a simple addon is more conevnient :)

Hi Joel, i havent tested it yet in newer versions though. I replace the file located in this folder

After reading this, is sort see the sluggish viewport still in 2.91 when your in combing mode and do edits. not everything seems to be updating properly. It was until i read this comment Garry R. Osgood stating, simply click in side the 3dv to "force" update it. I even downloaded files from this thread its either they are buggy for new Blender or its really blender viewport update issues. It took me many ticks and unticks to even get the children to show

I never use the cursor tool actually. I just noticed this has more options and we can do snapping. When i use the transform input it keeps Z up. So basically the default is set to view. Where the points the Z-axis to the viewer so to say.

This gets checked (and thus adds to the palette) when you use (in contrast to just holding without mouse click - which samples but doesnt add to the palette)
The status bar will tell you about the usage:

Ahh yeah holding S key starts picking color immediatly already. Though the help test could be more clearer that its actually ADDING that color.

IM sorry, i did have much time to look into how to work with this method of setting up a repo. I normally use Github for it's kind of work.

Im on OSX, but what i don't fully understand is why do i need to fork or get the complete addon branch? Or am i not understanding it correct? SOrry for the fuzz

It is based on quick access slot system and consists from numeric slots, that contains collection for quick access.
The symbol X means that there is no collection in the slot because the collection was not created.
QCD system (both GUI widget and shortcuts) can be turned off in addons preferences.

@Antonio Vazquez (antoniov) ive looked a bit into how to work with that. I haven't found a method to only make a patch for single addons. Is it correct i need to fork all of them? I normally use github for this kind of stuff. I know nothing about the other. Ill try my best to figure out everything.

Like i said, check Blender now and there are addons which have more advanced implementation of what he is showing. THere are already 3 addons with building elements like this ; Archimesh, Archipack, JARCH viz. Check those out

Ive added more sorting methods which i believe work better. Also added CSS and fixed KPL and ASE import. Its almost done, i couldn't get it all working for the release though. Im still working on a function which can also restore the order if the user doesn't like the result of the sorting.

Is this comment CLOG_WARN now being hidden?

I tried it and it does work. Though i believe i need to run them again to make them actually change all buttons. Ive tried adding the add set up so they are read when keymap is read back in and don't reset to defaults. I find my method works better then current behavior because i cant change anything. Now i can change it afterward :)

Thanks for the help and for noting about saving those properties. I have not read yet that this is bad practice.

There is something else with this issue. I get a "Segmentation fault: 11" crash when i simply try to open a addo pref panel?

And as a bonus, the Relative option for “Alt Middle Mouse Drag Action” now works as as we would expect. EXCELLENT!
Our animals can now swim up toward the top of the screen, when viewing from top. It was so awkward before.

I wonder why this preferences isnt added, i read this is by design. But if one uses a keymap and uses that same keymap on a different system. He can never change the preferences part which shows at the top.

PS i noticed some of Blender enum menu's also show this weird horizontal tabbing. For instance in Preferences > Addons > Sort Menu
Perhaps here its intentional since its probably more clear to read like this compared to a big list. But it looks kinda sloppy, its not aligning nice

Looks like v2.4.1 does fix it in bl 2.83, CPU is now steady around 5%

Wow this addon expanded quickly, looks nice but looks way more complicated then before. Perhaps it is mentioned earlier, but is it perhaps an idea to have a simplefied GUI like how it looked before? Currently it looks quite overwhelming with all the buttons and short names. I understand its a complex topic, but the simple GUI it had prior was super nice for simple stuff.

PS should the addon show "No projects available in your Blender Cloud", at least if i look in blender.py #114, this where it gets the enum and should return "No projects"

I see this is closed but states invalid, since its not a bug. Im now using 1.16 on OSX and still see this error in the console.

I have same issue but also wonder why other items from EEVEE do work then?

BLender API shows a different solution i just noticed.

It seems it makes columns using that, not the separator as does with a menu

Im tried using this in an enum menu and it divides dropdown into two parts? I also tried with ("", "", "", "", 0) but shows the same. Leaving out 0 returns error. Using bl2.82 on OSX

Andrew Peel has published an interesting video on Youtube: Asset Libraries in Blender 2 83

Why is that Technical Doc link closed for the reason of "Invalid"?

So i need to go to rightclickselect i guess, right

In addition to this, the manual does state only vertex groups get the applied effect. I also check 2.79 and it showed same behavior

I sometimes used it to make sure link are live and working. Also tend to use in some addon to check items

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

I added an option to the preferences so user can choose whether or not to show the importers in the Color Palettes

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...)
