I am changing the installers for most of the scripts on my website to a "persistent" style. Meaning they will survive a context reset and layout changes. I also started some bug fixing and documenting as I go, including youtube videos.

This is awesome news! Feels like a new update to TS. I like most of your addons, having a consistent installation process is a good idea. Will you share a way to build scripts to be compatible?

Sure, I kind of need it documented for myself anyway. Developer notes will end up on the persistent installer page.

Hey Clinton,
Happy New Year!
Is it safe to delete this thread?
v ... =55&t=4247

Or could you include them in your script?

No, not safe to delete. The rsx plugin process has not changed and the 2 scripts mentioned will be updated to the new system and will still be found at the same links.
This new process changes the script installation, it does not update the entire tS installation the way the Unofficial updates do.

Okay, let me know if I need to change the links.
Or even better a dedicated page at your website that include any updates to your scripts that are included in the unofficial update?

OK, that's it for the first set of updates. This set was focused on modeling tool scripts. I'll open a new thread for the next set of scripts.

One thing you might want to note is that if a user installs the Unofficial update AFTER installing your new script installers, your installations will have to be reinstalled. Given that they will replace the Widgets and Toolbars.

Good point.

I noticed when I built the New Custom Toolbar included in the Unofficial Update, when saving the Toolbar.RsObj, it would also save the present state of tS toolbars, and it would save all of the Recent files opened in the File menu.
So in my script to Save, I would Reset the tS toolbars and delete the Recent files before saving the Toolbar. RsObj
Regretting now that I did not Reset the File menu instead of deleting the recent files.

Not perfect, but I bet you could do better with your scripting abilities.

Update I found the commands in the Rosetta.log

Code: Select all

WindowsManager.SynchronizeCommand( '{18FEE173-8E8B-4492-A752-EF3BB386AE26}', 4, '', '') //File Menu
WindowsManager.SynchronizeCommand( '{A5876B44-6C2B-45BC-8338-0D338E2097B1}', 4, '', '') //New View 
WindowsManager.SynchronizeCommand( '{8324C912-58BE-4ACE-81EE-182512CBF0F9}', 4, '', '') //Workspace Nav
WindowsManager.SynchronizeCommand( '{E4A42E12-80C0-4B2B-8807-FE461407083C}', 4, '', '') //Custom Tool
WindowsManager.SynchronizeCommand( '{A5876B44-6C2B-45BC-8338-0D338E2097B1}', 4, '', '') //Animation
WindowsManager.SynchronizeCommand( '{DB8FF3AE-6061-4700-83A3-27A07259B027}', 4, '', '') //Workspace Main

You would have to save a Toolbar Prototype in the Toolbar Prototypes Encapsulator for your toolbars.
