Two questions about PyQt in Soft (re: Pick Sessions, UI Refresh)

2012-08-23 Thread Tim Crowson
Finally found some time to get Steve Caron's PyQtForSoftimage plugin up and running. Working great so far! Big thanks to Steve and any other contributors! Among other things, I'm impressed with how much more responsive PyQt is in pulling data from Shotgun. I have two questions: 1) Are Pick Se

Ah! I think I was looking at an older Example file. Looking at this new one, yeah, that seems like a good way to go. Good to know about the Pick Session stuff. Thanks! -Tim On 8/23/2012 6:13 PM, Steven Caron wrote: 1) you can launch softimage code from a pyqt app, so use a normal pickelemen

Steve, I can confirm that yes, this does allow me to refresh as expected. It's actually quite fast. Close the tool in Soft, make some changes in Designer, save, and relaunch the tool in Soft. Changes appear instantly. Nice. -Tim On 8/24/2012 2:09 PM, Steven Caron wrote: so you are confirming

Everything I'm working on now is internal pipeline stuff, but considering how blazingly fast I can get stuff up and running thanks to Designer and Eclipse, it will be a breeze to redo something like my Multi-Importer. This has been a major win of the week for me. Thanks! -Tim On 8/24/2012 3:
