Image shows all the possible menu items.
Import and Export won't install if NURBS aren't already there.
Same for the Save Object+/Scene+ and Library Place scripts.
If not installed to the UU version of tS then the Save As Single Object and Optimize won't be included


A new file menu based on the Unofficial Updates file menu.

It adds some things, renames some things and has reordered menu items. The biggest changes are in the Load and Save As menus.

There is a "Save as Scene Renamed" which will rename the scene to match the file name chosen. So it works like the model space save as scene.
It works with the original tS installation and the Unofficial Updates.

Published a little early and I need to do one more round of testing to call it "done".

I tried Loading a saved Group (two selected cubes) using your Save As/Object

Oh
Wow, I see the error and when I try to save 2 selected cubes with the original Save button I get this:

There is no option to save RsObj with multi-selection.


I guess I just assumed it would work like model space save as.

Thanks, I'll add a restriction to it and change the names to something else.

Try the original Save command
Library2.DlgGenericSave('', '', 3)
single quote(s) = FirstSelected()
First try with more than one selected object

Next try with one selected object
RsObj becomes available

BTW... I tested this in the Standalone version
Maybe your saved Group works in the Full Version?

Nope same error.

Now trying to find good names for the Save As Object buttons.

Original: uses 3D Object icon(object as seen in the 3D view), author from when tS was installed and no description
UU: uses Library Icon(orange sofa), overrides author and adds description

I am not sure
I am thinking about updating the Save command
if(Node.SelectedCount() > 1){Node.Select(Node.FirstSelected())};Library2.DlgGenericSave('', '', 3)

Looks like it would make it hard to tell what would be saved. It's not always clear what the first selected one is so you might save the wrong object or you think you're saving the entire selection and find out later only the 1 object was saved.

Update:

added restriction on multi-selection on the Save As "Object"
renamed Save As "Single Object" to Save As "Object+"

I still need to update the image on the website to show the change. Will wait in hopes of a finding a better name than "Object+"

I am fine with you overwriting/using the Object toolbar Command with your process
Just add the RclickCommand to it
if(Node.SelectedCount() > 1){Node.Select(Node.FirstSelected())};UserInterface.OpenToolPanelViewEx2("" , "" ,"/Preferences/Save As Object/Object", 3, 0, 0)
Note: The above is different than the current UU

So if I understand

LMB:
Error message if more than 1 object selected
Will save using the 3D Object icon which is the object as seen in the 3D viewport.
Author is taken from the value typed in during the tS installation.
Description is blank.

RMB:
Change the selection to the first selected item
Open the Panel
Press the Save As button on the object panel:
- Will save using the Library icon which is an orange chair.
- Author is taken from the Object panel.
- Description is taken from the Object panel.

Sounds about right

Update released:

moved code from the Object+ RClickCommand button into the Object button RClickCommand and removed the Object+ button
actual RMB code lives inside the function set, function SaveAsObjectPanel()

final result shown above
