Houdini Main Changelogs

6.1.14

Major changes to the operator preset mechanism. We are still able to load old preset files. All new presets will be saved to "index" files in subdirectories of the presets directory in the HOUDINI_PATH. The Presets menu contains a dynamic list of all available presets instead of requiring a manual search for the correct .preset file. Existing .preset files can easily be packaged into index files using the new hidx command line application.

This new preset mechanism also re-introduces the capability that used to exist with the Make Permanent Defaults menu item. If a preset named "Permanent Defaults" exists for an operator, it will be loaded by any new instances of that operator type.

In terms of hscript command support, there are four new commands. oppresetls lists all available presets. oppresetload loads a preset into an operator. oppresetsave saves an operator's settings as a preset. oppresetrm deletes a preset.

6.1.14

Fixed some problems with the opparm -c command. Eliminated some potential core dumps, and also allow this command to eceute the callback scripts for any number of parameter instead of just one. Added -C option to opparm which acts like the regular version of opparm by setting parameter values, but after setting each value it also executes the callback for the parameter (if any).

To help when dealing with menu based parameters using opparm, there is a new opmenu command which lists all the values that can be assigned to a menu based parameter using opparm.

6.1.14

Adding a simple applicatino called hidx. It works similarly to hotl, except it treats the file as a generic index file instead of as an OTL, which is a special kind of index file.
