Eyeon:Manual/Changes Between Fusion 5 and 5.1/Bins
From VFXPedia
Bins
Contents |
Custom Bin Icons
When adding tool settings and macros to the bins, Fusion will now check to see if the folder that contains the setting or macro also contains a Bitmap (.bmp) with the same name. If such a bitmap exists, it will be used as the icon for that item. The bitmap can be of any size, and the Bins will automatically scale the image to match the resolution needed currently for display in the bins.
Non-Fusion Shortcuts
Bins can now contain shortcuts to non-Fusion related items, in fact, any file type recognized by the operating system. The item will be represented in the bins by the same icon used by the filesystem. Double-clicking on the item will perform the same action as double-clicking on the item in the rest of the operating system. For example, double-clicking on a Softimage scene in the Bins will launch Softimage and load the scene.
Remote Bin Administrator
Administrators who deploy remote Bin servers have a new script called the Remote Bin Administrator. This has been added to Fusion 5.1 specifically for managing users, passwords and permissions. It can be found on disk in the Fusion:\Scripts\Utility folder.
The Remote Bin Administrator script can be run directly from Fusion's File/Scripts menu, or from the command line using eyeonscript.exe. Its behavior is identical regardless of which method is used to launch it.
Logging In
When the script is run for the first time it will display a login dialog. This dialog is used to select which eyeonScript Bins server and library to connect to, as well as a username and password. The username and password provided must have administrative privileges. The servername can be specified as a computername or IP address. Once the script has successfully logged in to the remote system a new dialog will appear which can be used to manage the remote Bins.
Editing an existing users password or permissions
Select the username from the list on the left. The username, password and permissions will appear on the right. Make the desired changes and click on the Set button to confirm the changes.
Creating a new user
To create a new user, click on the '+' button on the far right of the interface. Enter the desired username in the dialog that appears and click OK. The username will be created without a password or permissions. See above for details on setting these properties.
Deleting a user
To delete a user, select the username from the list on the left and click on the '-' button. A confirmation dialog will appear. Click on the YES button to delete the user.
