Since 4.2 you should follow: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/4.2/advanced/blender_directory_layout.html#portable-installation
Ohhh, I didn't know this changed. Ok, you can close this…
True, that would work for the per-file options. For the ones that are per-editor this isn't enough.
What would be example of such options? A per-editor ones, which you would not want to…
And potentially a fourth: Global properties that set a default on a per-file basis. So when you open an existing file, it uses the setting in that file, but when you create a new one, it…
The logic here is flawed. If there's anything user needs to change on the fly repeatedly "while they continue to use the program" then it is very clearly not supposed to be in the global…
Why not just have additional "Preferences" menu in the header of any editor which will have Preference setting shortcuts? This would be standardized across all the editors, and would clearly group…
I hope I am misunderstanding the design.
Good news then, because you are. This does not move the storage of anything in or out of blender prefs.
Think of this as a shortcut that…
Even more context: There are generally two types of preferences:
- Those people want to set once and forget
- Those people want to occasionally change on the fly
Those in the #1 category…
I hope I am misunderstanding the design. If not, then it's pretty bad. To me, there are only two, equally as bad possibilities:
- These preferences will no longer be stored globally in the OS…
@ideasman42 What happened to this? Close to 5 years ago you made a design task to stop already existing patch so many people requested from being merged in, and you invented a lot of synthetic…
If this works, then extrude manifold operator should just straight up be deleted. Other than that, has this been tested on actual meshes? The example shows just 3x3 subdivided cube. But how about…
Then I need to clarify what I mean by "Dynotopo destroys data".
It means the data in certain attributes (E.g. the positions of vertices in a UV map) are erased. But the actual attribute…
@Rawalanche it would be good to clarify everything so we're all on the same page.
Is my interpretation in [this comment](blender/blender#128584 (comment)…
If you close this as not a bug I will instantly open a new report labeled "Dyntopo does not destroy attribute data" since the warning clearly implies that upon any Dyntopo operation, the attribute…
So, I'm a bit confused by what specifically needs clarification here - based on your latest comment @Rawalanche, the specific issue that you're trying to automate seems to be a bug (See:…
@Rawalanche the intent isn't to close, it's to move the discussion to a design task.
The fact people are making suggestions here for how this might work differently - or different ways we…
I am afraid that "needs more design discussion" is becoming a doublespeak for wanting a PR to end up abandoned. If it needs more design, then let's keep the PR open and provide ideas. Here's…
