What's new?
===========
Version 2.18
------------
Fix get versions when path contains version like info in path
`````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
This update fixes getting neighbour versions when the path itself already
contains a version like string.
Version 2.17
------------
Close smartRecents main window before showing Open-Append dialog
````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
When loading a working file, this will now close the smartRecents main
window before opening the Open-Append dialog. This leaves you with a
better experience reaching Nuke's built-in 'open autosave' dialog.
Configure to sort files by last modified and name
`````````````````````````````````````````````````
In the setting section you can now choose the file sorting mode in the
table. Choose between sorting by last modified and name.

In previous versions, clicking any column in the header raised an
AttributeError.

information about your history. You get the file size, used Nuke version and
used Nuke variant for each working file.

```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

Version 2.15
------------
- Update to nuke-16
Version 2.14
------------
- Fix: Create default ``auto_thumbnail`` settings for new settings file
In previous versions, running smartRecents for the first time caused an
issue with launching and it got fixed automatically the next time you launched
smartRecents. This has been fixed now and does not create any issue on first
launch anymore.
Version 2.13
------------
Color code working files
````````````````````````
Right click a working file in smartRecents and choose ``color -> set`` to
set a custom color. The working file gets then marked with that color in
smartRecents. Use ``color -> unset`` to remove the color.
.. image:: img/updates/set_color.png
Auto capture thumbnail
``````````````````````
smartRecents contains now functionality to auto set a thumbnail for the
working file when closing it. In the settings choose to use a screenshot
of the Nuke app window or auto render a thumbnail from the node that the
current viewer is connected to.

Version 2.10
------------
.. raw:: html
Implement table history view, incl. thumbnails and comments
```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
We introduced the table history view. This view offers some more functionality
compared to our former list view:
.. image:: img/updates/history_view.png
The table history view offers:
- Adjustable thumbnails that are resizable to your needs
- Information about last modify date
- Comments to keep track of what has been done and what needs to be done
By the way: Shot thumbnails taken via smartRecents work in smartLib as well and
vice versa.
The table history mode is the new default viewing mode. In the settings section
you can switch back to the former list view if you need to:
.. image:: img/updates/change_mode.png
:scale: 50
.. tip::
smartRecents' thumbnails are compatible with the thumbnails in smartLib.
If a shot contains a .docs folder around your working file as we use in
smartLib then a screenshot will be exported into that directory. If it does
not exist we export a thumbnail in
``~/cragl/smartRecents/thumbs/.jpg``. In order to
get information where each thumbnail is loaded from set the environment
variable ``CRAGL_SMARTRECENTS_SHOW_THUMBNAIL_PATHS`` to ``'True'`` prior to
launching Nuke. The thumbnail paths get then logged in your terminal when
launching smartRecents
Add right click menu for items
``````````````````````````````
You can now right click any working file in smartRecents and execute several
commands for it:
.. image:: img/updates/item_context_menu.png
:scale: 50
- **Open:** Open the seleccted working file. Choose between opening it or
appending its nodes into the root of the current working file or importing
it as a collapsed Group node.
- **Reveal:** Click to reveal the working file in your explorer.
- **Version History:** Open or insert previous working files.
- **Remove from list:** Remove the working file from smartRecents. It stays
untouched on disk and is just removed from the working file list.
Set thumbnail preview from selected node / take screenshot using snipping tool
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Select a node and set a thumbnail for the current shot by using the current
node selection or by take a screenshot using a snipping tool.
.. image:: img/updates/take_thumbnail.png
:scale: 50
Append as Group
```````````````
We added a new insertion mode 'Append as Group'. This mode will import the
selected working file as a collapsed Group node into the current working file.
This is particularly useful if you want to quickly bring in some node setups
from another shot or a previous working file version.
Version 2.9
-----------
- Add studio model and various style changes
Search license files in all CRAGL_LICENSE_ROOTS from environment
````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Add absolute paths of directories to the environment variable
``CRAGL_LICENSE_ROOTS``. All cragl products will search for license files in
these root directories as well. Concatenate multiple paths by semicolon ``;``
under Windows and colon ``:`` under Linux/MacOS.
Show only working files that exist on disk
``````````````````````````````````````````
The smartRecents window shows now only working files that actually exist
on disk.
Add browsing docs, changelog and support
````````````````````````````````````````
The smartRecents window contains now an additional 'Help' button. Clicking
it give you access to the following functionality:

Send email to license author when machine installs license
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
You as a license owner will now receive an email when a new machine uses
your license. This is just another layer of security to ensure your licenses
get only used by you and no one else. In case you own a site license, you can
always white- and black list any machines and decide yourself which machines to
allow / disallow usage of your licenses.
