Also attached is my Delete changes. It's not optimized for single undo yet.
It will ask before deleting a Vray node in the scene.
Other nodes can be added for the are you sure questioning

If the Delete preferences is added to Custom preferences then the rmb can be changed to open the panel.
Protect Special Nodes will ask "are you sure?" question, otherwise just deletes.
Delete Whole NURBS will delete the whole nurbs object, otherwise only delete what is selected.
Thanks!
The new Delete (Enhanced) script does not delete multiple selected objects
I did a test with the previous Delete.xml with multiple selected NURBS and it deleted all of the NURBS

Fixed. The problem was converting from 1 undo version to open testable version. Added a comment as reminder for conversion back to 1 undo

Great, thanks!
I did a test wondering if the Vray Question would work with multiple selections
It worked!
On another note, I notice you have to select Undo twice before undoing one of the Deletes
Adding one RsApp.Undo() to the bottom of the Delete script eliminates one Undo

Is it possible to detect if a selection is not in the scene, like selecting anything in System?
And if so, add a Question - Yes or No like you have done with Vray?

You missed that line.
When converted back to single undo form all the extra RsApp undos aren't needed.

AWESOME !!!

On another issue, I have noticed that the Clear history button has a bug

.
Every time I select the Clear button an entry is added to Commands
Can you confirm?

Edit: I fixed this issue by adding another script to Scripts/Commands
And changed the Clear button script to:
Activity.Run("Scripts/Commands/ClearHistory")

clintonman · Post by **clintonman** » 10 Aug 2022, 16:35

Nope, all I see is a single question mark icon and blank command.

trueBlue · Post by **trueBlue** » 10 Aug 2022, 16:48

Why me and not YOU?
Nevertheless it does add an Undo entry for you
I think it is a button script bug
If I run RsApp.ClearHistory() from a jScript it works as expected so I fixed the Desktop's Clear button script

Edit: I fixed this issue by adding another script to Scripts/Commands
And changed the Clear button script to:
Activity.Run("Scripts/Commands/ClearHistory")

You should try adding it to the UUFunctionSet.
I switched computers and the tS install that I know has the latest UU plus the recent changes looks like your screenshot, with the single line of ScriptObject.RunCmd("script object package/cyclecameras")

Can you make a toolbar script for the Delete object icons?

Is there more than 1 Delete object icons? Maybe I don't understand what you're asking for.

trueBlue · Post by **trueBlue** » 10 Aug 2022, 18:13

Yes, there is several toolbars with the Delete object icons
I was hoping you could make a script like you did for the visibility icons for the Delete object icons
Change two attributes:
"HelpText") = "Delete selected objects / Preferences"
"RClickCommand") = "UserInterface.OpenToolPanelViewEx2('', '','/Preferences/Custom preferences/Delete preferences',3,1,1);"

I would like to add these two other nodes to your Delete.xml:
YafaRay4tS
PhotoRender

Code: Select all

		if(ProtectSpecialNodes == true) {
			if(selectionArray[i] == Space.CurrentScene() + "/Vray") {
				if(!System.Question("The Vray node is selected. Are you sure you want to delete it?")) {
					continue;
				}
			}

Also, System.Question can hide behind trueSpace
Is it possible to add a modal Question?

I'll add that as a parameter, called "urgent", to the question function

clintonman · Post by **clintonman** » 10 Aug 2022, 20:51

Here's the new format

Question(strText, strTitle, nSecondsToWait, urgent)

GlobalFS.Question("The Vray node is selected. Are you sure you want to delete it?", "Warning!", -1, true)

The nSecondsToWait will automatically answer NO after the time has passed, -1 means no timeout.

Yes, the Exclamation icon is what I was hoping for to give it a more serious question/warning

.
The modal Question dialog defaults to Yes
If a user selects the keyboard Enter key, the object will be Deleted
Is there a way to make the No button the default?

Edit: Found info
To indicate the default button, specify one of the following values.

Value Meaning
MB_DEFBUTTON1
0x00000000L
The first button is the default button.
MB_DEFBUTTON1 is the default unless MB_DEFBUTTON2, MB_DEFBUTTON3, or MB_DEFBUTTON4 is specified.

MB_DEFBUTTON2
0x00000100L
The second button is the default button.
MB_DEFBUTTON3
0x00000200L
The third button is the default button.
MB_DEFBUTTON4
0x00000300L

clintonman · Post by **clintonman** » 11 Aug 2022, 15:35

added another parameter, 2 will set the second button to the default, all other numbers or nothing at all will set first button as default.

PhotoRender is mostly a Model Lightworks Render Settings, but Vray uses it too
May never see the PhotoRender in Standalone, but may be possible, and Standalone does not have Lightworks
With Vray & PhotoRender, how about "is required for Offline rendering"?
Maybe YafaRay4tS too?
When you RMB click the Rendering icons, it opens the Offline renderers panel

More testing is needed and I think the soft needs to check for descendant ORAs and abort if it finds any.

Open a windows command prompt and type

Code: Select all

netstat -a -n -o | find "8080"

the last number<PID> is used in the next command

Code: Select all

tasklist | findstr <PID>

this will tell you what is using the port

If no luck then you can change the port number in the www panel to some other number, like 8081.

Did you try killing the "HPNetworkCommunicatorCom" process? It's the reason your'e getting the alert. tS can't use port 8080 if something else is already using it.
I can't find any useful info on it. It's something that HP uses, one person declared it not a threat but a nuisance and some people get infected with a virus disguised as it. Do you have HP hardware and did you get any updates lately?

trueBlue · Post by **trueBlue** » 01 Sep 2022, 20:03

I have a HP Envy 24

I was suspecting that maybe my request to have the WWW toolbar button open the Web Server was the culprit
Last time, I opened the Web Server from the panel
Either way seems to be working now without the alert

Glad you got it working. This is the reason you can change the port number in the panel, to avoid conflicts with other programs.
