Copy-Paste / Duplicate with smarter numbering

Last post by SirEdric « 2 months 3 weeks ago

by jedmitchell » 2 months 3 weeks ago

First post

I would like the duplicate / copy-paste commands to exhibit some intelligence when renaming the nodes they create. Specifically, if the node ends in a number, have that number advance to 1 + the current highest numbered node with the same name.

So, Merge4 --> Merge5 instead of Merge4 --> Merge4_1.

This one has killed me forever, but on my current job it's just a constant face palm seeing stuff like this:

It's... fine (I guess) to rename nodes yourself when there are a limited number of...

It would be useful to be able to deinstance and reinstance Inputs in instanced tools with a script command.

So you can't set that SourceOp attr via scripting?

Making a modifier that modifies Translate, Rotate,... groups

The CoordTransform3D modifier modifies X, Y and Z all at once, with one modifier.

How would you set that up in a Fuse?

Thanks! :)

Last post

Also maybe time to inject some life into this old ball of yarn

Yup.

Hate to be that guy... But would it be possible to make Probe work the same way? From the user perspective, modifiers should be applied to individual channels or to the color tuple as a whole. Seems like if you apply Probe to the color group it should do all at once.

I've not used it yet but Midgardsormr created a nifty looking com.MuseVFX.AutoProbe atom package in Reactor. This tool script will automatically make the...

"Retry" Fuse loading on startup

Quality of life thing...

It would be a pretty huge time saver if, while developing a Fuse and this pops up at startup:

RetryFuseLoading.PNG

...there would be a Retry button, so I could go back into my text editor, fix my typo (oh those darn brackets), press it and I could continue loading Fusion and test my Fuse, as opposed to let Fusion start up, fix typo (hopefully) and do at least one other restart cycle.

Said Retry button could be optional through means of an env var, of course....

Last post

Could Fusion just not error on content outside FuRegisterClass()

Actually that's an excellent point. I would love to not have to click OK for everything that fails to load on startup.

"Pick" for frame format settings

First post

It would be nice if instead of relying on the comp default frame format or manually copying values, we could instead use a Pick button that pulled the various image parameters from the selected viewer's input.

Last post

This would be nice.

Right now I have Tools like the Background with expressions in settings slot 6 that reference Loader1. As long as I make sure Loader1 references the correct source and is always in the comp (even if not connected to anything) all is good...just have to switch to the s6 tab when I insert the tool.

I'm trying to create a fuse right now that does nothing more than pull all the metadata and image info from an ImageControl field and then list certain attributes in specific text...

AskUser Dialog "Close" Button

Last post by AndrewHazelden « Tue Jan 22, 2019 3:56 am

by AndrewHazelden » Tue Jan 22, 2019 3:56 am

I've noticed for a long time that a Fusion AskUser dialog's Close icon in the window title bar does nothing in Fusion. I think the window's close button should be linked to the AskUser dialog's Cancel button code. :)

Example AskUser Code Snippet

ui:Icon Support in a UI Manager ui:Tree Layout

It would be really handy if a Fusion UI Manager ui:Tree list view layout was able to support the placement of full color RGB images inline in the view as ui:Icon based graphics.

I've looked at the UITree and UITreeItem entries in the Fusionscript Help Browser and I didn't see any functions listed that I think would allow me to attach a ui:Icon image to this control. It would be really nice if a ui:Icon was able to be used in the tree view layout and placed with alignment controls like I am...

utf8 Encoding

Would be nice if utf8 functions for Encoding & Decoding where included in Fu script lib.
When creating a custom Text Fuse, we have to use an external Module for it like :
Or did i miss something.

Would be cool if there was a way to find the number of Faces and/or Tris of an imported 3D Model.

Connecting 3D transforms via translation, rotation, scale, and pivot screws is really tedious.
