This button can be enabled in the add-on preferences and and then be
available on the Flamenco Render panel. Pressing the button will
silently close Blender after the job has been submitted to Flamenco (for
example to click, walk away, and free up memory for when the same
machine is part of the render farm).
This stores project-specific settings, such as filesystem paths, for each
project, and restores those settings when the project is selected again.
Does not touch settings that haven't been set for the newly selected
project.
Blender 2.78c is shipped with a version of the io_blend_utils module that
doesn't have a `pythonpath()` function yet, and that's bundled with an
older version of BAM. To work around this, we ship BAM as wheel, and detect
whether this version is needed to run.
As an added bonus, Blender 2.78c can now also use the file exclude filter
for Flamenco. The `bam_supports_exclude_option()` function is thus no
longer necessary.
A filter like "*.abc;*.mkv;*.mov" can be used to prevent certain files
from being copied to the job storage directory. Requires a Blender that is
bundled with BAM 1.1.7 or newer.
Attract and Flamenco features are (de)activated based on the extensions
enabled on the selected project. As a result, anyone can use the add-on
again, without seeing Attract or Flamenco things they can't use.
Lots to do:
- Doesn't call BAM yet to copy files onto the job storage folder (even
though you can configure that folder).
- Uses the same project as Attract, so you have to select it in an
unintuitive location. Also, you can only start Flamenco jobs on a project
that is Attract-enabled (and not necessarily Flamenco-enabled).
By default, blender will take the operator class description comment as the description for the UI tooltip, which should not have a trailing dot.
I duplicated the descriptions into an explicit bl_description to have a clear distinction between user UI and coder comment, but simply removing the dot from the comment would also work
