Hi.
I think I stumbled on to a very odd bug with the Lighting patch while debugging
something with a custom QC plugin.
For example. Make a new QC plugin. In the header add
@property (assign) NSString* inputPath;
In the implementation add the necessary
@dynamic inputPath;
make sure it is a Consumer ( kQCPlugInExecutionModeConsumer) and its time base
is kQCPlugInTimeModeTimeBase so it triggers rendering/execution every frame.
and then in execute, add
if([self didValueForInputKeyChange:@"inputPath"])
NSLog(@"inputPath Changed");
Now, save, build/run/copy and then make a new composition - dont open the
viewer yet. Add a lighting patch. Add our new patch inside the lighting patch
and put something/anything in the textfield. Before you open the viewer, make
sure you've simply enabled shadows.
Optionally Save the composition.
Now, start the viewer. Note that you did not see "inputPath Changed" printed.
Stop the viewer. Disable shadows. Change the text field string. Now run the
viewer, note you do see "inputPath Changed" printed.
You can also simply open the viewer when shadow is enabled (after opening it
fresh, or starting/stopping the viewer) and continuously edit the string, and
never see anything reported in the log (no change being reported). However,
disabling shadows immediately makes your changes noticed. All the while the
patch was indeed executing (add a log in the top of executeAtTime: to verify
yourself)
Even more damning, you can disable shadows after having it off, see the changes
being logged as you type, and then enable shadows, and see it ignore any
changes you type. Its basically a live checkbox to ignore
'didValueForInputKeyChange
Am I crazy? Is it late and ought I be asleep?
Thanks.
