Interesting ranting post on blenderartists about data lost due to user not setting fake user on datablock.
http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?248813-MAJOR-BUG-in-2.62-loosing-Actions/page1 The point is, in my opinion: Should the user care about the number of datablock references? This looks like something that would concern the reference counting system of a memory manager/garbage collector rather than users. This would not have been a problem if we had an explicit way to delete data and data always stayed in blender even after closing the program. A user will usually want his data to stay if he creates it and go if he deletes it. Currently there are two problems with the approach we have: 1) You have to close the program to delete all unreferenced data and 2) You can't create a library of datablocks without explicitly setting a fake user, which is not the best of options. I realize this might have been a popular theme of debate but I am not up to the facts. Is this a design choice or simply not implemented yet? Is this part of the asset browser project? _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
