Changelog

4.30

  • Make thumbnail node setup configurable (#70)

    This update lets you make the thumbnail generation configurable. Create your own node setup and choose it from the list of templates.

4.29

  • Fix EnumType.call() error in Nuke-16 when creating new shot (#69)

4.28

  • Center main window and settings window to center of screen (#68)

4.27

  • Implement forward and backward history navigation buttons (#66)

    Use the new forward and backward navigation buttons on the top left to browse your navigation history like in a file explorer.

  • Manual path navigation parented to main window (#65)

    Right-click the navigation bar at the top to enter a path manually. In previous versions this opened the url path widget in a separate floating window. Now it is parented to the main window.

  • Create animations for toggle system, shot section and notes (#64)

    Clicking the system-, shot- and notes toggle buttons at the top right animates the size now.

4.26

  • Implement search fields for system section and project bookmarks (#61)

4.25

  • Configure shot nesting (#58)

    Configure how shots are layed out inside your project. This determines how smartLib will scan and discover shots in your project. Choose from:

    • all on project level: Choose when all shots are located on the same level. This is the default and this is how smartLib has been working so far.

    • nested in sequences: Choose when your project contains sub folders that nest shots on a per-sequence basis.

  • Add tooltip for bulk shot creation (#59)

    Creating a new empty shot, a shot from an existing shot and a shot from a template as well as creating a new folder in a shot have always had the functionality implemented to create multiple shots/folders in one go. Simply separate these by a comma. We added a hint to all these locations because this feature wasn’t very obvious so far.

  • Ask to open selected shot in current or new Nuke session (#57)

    When opening a Nuke script from within smartLib you get new asked if you want to open it in the current Nuke session or in a new Nuke session.

4.24

  • Create automatic version preview for shot section (#41)

    A Write node that has been marked for preview will automatically receive a preview that can be viewed in smartLib’s shot section. This lets you easily compare your working files amongst multiple versions.

  • Add template help button (#55)

    The ‘Shot Templates’ section in the settings contains now a help button that browses you to the documentation for creating shot templates.

4.23

  • Project status overview in project section (#53)

    The project section shows you now a live overview of all statuses of all shots of the current project. The length of the statuses represent how many shots have that status. Click one of the statuses to filter all shots with the clicked status. This section lets you also create new empty shots, from an existing shot and from a shot template.

4.22

  • Import all media from folder (#49)

When right-clicking a folder and choosing ‘insert in dag’ then this scans the selected folder for media and inserts all found image and video based media into the DAG.

  • Change shot statuses in the project section (#50)

Besides changing a shot’s status in the Shots section, you can now also do that in the project section for each shot.

4.14

  • Fix: Cannot enter nested folder when clicking top level system folder in Windows (#27)

    When trying to click a folder in the system list when you are on the top level (i.e. drive level) then navigating into a folder did not happen. This happened only under windows and is related to the fact that Windows always requires a forward slash after the drive letter, which was not present. This has been fixed now.

  • Fix: Dropping a folder into the saved projects list holds an event lock under windows (#28)

    When dropping a folder into the saved projects list then the event could not be released which caused not being able to enter any text in the upcoming dialog. This dialog was there only to give the folder to favorite a different name. This feature has been turned off and you can rename an element in the favorite list after it has been added if needed by right clicking it and choosing ‘rename’ from the context menu.

  • Add ‘Add to saved projects’ command in system list right click menu (#29)

    Adding a selected folder in the system list to the saved projects via the context menu is an alternative way to dragging and dropping the folder into the saved projects list.

  • Show number of shots for currently loaded show (#20)

    When loading a show, this shows now the overall number of shots it contains.

  • Adjust and uniform style (#18)

    Replace icons in favor for an overall dark theme.

  • Load selected item when enter key is pressed (#19)

    When selecting a folder in the system list or a shot in the project view then the selected item will be loaded. This behavior can be unselected to revert back to previous behavior. To do so navigate to smartLib’s settings and uncheck the checkbox ‘Load selected item on enter pressed’ in the ‘General’ tab.

  • Expose settings button and docs button in GUI (#26)

    You can now launch the settings window and tutorial and documentation pages directly from the smartLib main window. These are exposed as buttons at the top right of the main window.

  • Add progress bar when launching smartLib and for each project load (#23)

  • Navigate to custom folder when clicking home button (#22)

  • Send rendering to smartMedia (#25)

    Right click any media in smartLib’s shot section and execute ‘send to smartMedia’ to send the selected media to smartMedia. You can then convert the media to your needs.

  • Create sequence cut (#24)

    Right click any shot in the project view and execute ‘sequence cut…’. This lets you set up a sequence cut for all your selected shots. This feature lets you easily view the latest state of your show.

2.3

  • System folder - ability to create a new folder

  • Default shot template for project - as soon as you create a new shot from a shot template the selected template will be stored for this project. So if you create another one the selected template from the template list will be the template the you used the last time.

  • Bulk shot creation from template - all three shot creation methods (empty shot, from existing shot folder structure, from shot template) include now the ability to create multiple shots in one go. In the name input simply enter multiple shot names separated by comma.

  • Source footage default folder - In the current shot section right click one of your folders and choose “footage directory->set footage directory”. Now you can directly browse to the folder by navigating to cragl->smartLib->import from footage directory. This can be set per shot or you can also set a default footage directory in your shot template to enable this feature for each shot. In the right click menu you can also choose a global folder outside the shot itself so this will then always direct you to that folder.

  • Global gamma slider for shot thumbnails - in the settings window in the general section there is a new slider for setting the gamma when creating shot thumbnails.

  • Collapse image sequences - In cragl->smartLib->settings in the general tab you can find the option “collapse image sequences”. This collapses image sequences in the current shot section and displays a sequence in this format - sequenceName.[1001-1100].exr. If you need to copy, cut and paste items you need to uncheck the collapse image sequences option in smartLib’s settings window.

  • Insert into dag - in the currentShot section right click a file, image sequence or nukescript and choose “insert in dag”. This will insert the selected item into your node graph.

  • Insert shot notes - choose cragl->smartLib->insert shot notes. This creates a sticky note and pastes all notes for this shot into it.

  • All items get sorted alphabetically. This is now the default method.

  • Improved file selection behaviour in shot lib section. This behaves now exactly the same way as selecting files in your explorer.
