| QPop - configurable quadrant menu
|
|
|
Hello everybody!
QPop is a C++/CLI (.net) plugin to extend the UI with a configurable quadrant popup menu.
I believe that short mouse travel is essential for a fast workflow, but found the built-in context menu a bit lengthy, and, worse, not freely configurable.
The inspiration is of course the 3ds max QuadMenu (which I did not want to mimic exactly) and the XPop plugin by R. Claus.
I’ve worked with Maya’s hotbox, too, but I think a quadmenu does the job quite as well, without overcomplicating things.
See “installation instructions.rtf”!
Although I have tested the plugin on my 64 bit Vista machine on 7.0 and 7.5, on my 32 bit Laptop, and on my colleagues’ 64 bit XP and Vista machines, it is possible that there are troubles loading the plugin. So this is kind of a beta release.
Hope it works and comes in handy.
Enjoy!
Best regards,
Eugen

Hi, after install plugin I receive a error
// INFO : QPop Error: System.InvalidOperationException: Starting a second message loop on a single thread is not a valid operation. Use Form.ShowDialog instead.
// at System.Windows.Forms.Application.ThreadContext.RunMessageLoopInner(Int32 reason, ApplicationContext context)
// at System.Windows.Forms.Application.ThreadContext.RunMessageLoop(Int32 reason, ApplicationContext context)
// at System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run(Form mainForm)
// at QPop_Execute(CStatus* , CRef* in_ctxt)
// ERROR : 21000-CUST-QPop - Unspecified failure
Any ideas?

Hm, sounds familiar.
What’s your configuration? Sytem, .net version, Softimage version?

no error when I run script thru script editor

Just heard from Firebird that usage in a workgroup can cause SI to crash. On my installation, it works fine, though.
As I said, this is kind of a beta release, so feedback is much appreciated!
If there’s trouble, the culprit is mostly the .net installation.
It’s compiled as release, option /MD. There shouldn’t be any debug dll dependencies any more.

You have to put the script in the user folder Data\Scripts.
You can only put custom script commands in the Application\Plugins folder, and this is a “normal” script.
Besides that, it works for you?
