Not sure what the current state of this is, but it certainly would be useful to add expressions to the Shader and Compositor nodes as well. Running this on the GPU is also useful, a previous…
We don't receive any click event from outside of the Blender window, so
getPixelAtCursor()is never called. I'll keep trying to find a solution.Just for testing, I've found that on…
For X11 you need to "grab" the mouse, so that all events go to you. You will get the mouse click events, and the window being clicked on will not get them. Make sure you release the "grab" as soon…
I'm not clear why the default of 0 has to behave differently than any specific value. An old scene will have all objects at the default priority so how these interact with objects at other…
Just make sure the global install produces a warning or error if the files are in the users home directory.
If as described the intention is to be able to update the mime description to the…
For global install of the mimetype, it appears the correct location to put the .xml file is /usr/share/mime/packages/Overrides.xml. It is unclear if other filenames work, possibly it just…
Could somebody post a screenshot showing what icon is used on Windows for .blend files? I think at minimum this icon needs to be included in the tarball. Ideally if anybody can figure out what…
I really really really think this should install the .blend file icon. Even if it does not work, because at least it tries and there is some chance somebody will figure this out and fix it.
I think it should check if the mimetype already is installed and skip this. Possibly "unregister" should do nothing.
I think what is actually happening is that it has a default value for icon name that is derived from type, by changing / to -. I would leave this line out, though, as it is setting it to the default value.
That script looks useful, need to track down what it sets $kde_dir to.
For global install it is probably okay if they have to type "sudo xyz/blender --install". The installation can check if…
Sorry getting out of sync with the messages, you have addressed this.
Absolutely do not leave the icon name commented out of the mime install! That makes it impossible to fix the icon manually…
The file icon is needed even if the thumbnailer works. It appears there is no thumbnail until the file is saved or touched after the existence of the thumbnailer.
Supposedly the fallback location for the mime icons is /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/mimetypes
Supposedly you have to run sudo gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/hicolor/ -f
I…
It still looks like this is not setting the icon for .blend files (the icon you are setting is for the blender executable and for the .desktop files). This is really important especially if the…
Yes if a global install is wanted, it is a really good idea to unpack the tarball to a non-user location, such as /opt.
I still feel that most users would expect to be able to do a global…
All I know is I had to try several directories before they appeared If anybody can decipher freedesktop.org's rules it would help. Would like something like "put it in `$XDG_SECRET_DIRECTORY/scalab…
My system also already contained the .blend file mime type, but no icon for it. I just copied these instructions from a web page about adding mime types, do not know for certain if they work. I do…
If you have figured out the "where to put the icons" problem then this is excellent. I had to just guess at directories to put them in until they appeared. At least for me I had to put the…
