OTOY Forums

Here's beta.dd I've rewritten the way the tool saves and sets values between the SKP, ruby and html/js...

I'll now reasonably confident*** that the PC AND MAC versions should work virtually identically. The 'Octane Exporter...' tool should now launch and 'populate' the dialog properly: with any new SKP using the default values for paths etc and all other options 'unchecked', except for the camera which should be 'checked': or when values are changed and then used, and the SKP is subsequently saved, closed and reopened, the last values you used should be used in the tool's dialog.

Note that all options and settings should now be 'available' and capable of being 'activated' and/or changed: however, please see the 'known issues' section in the 'Help' PDF file - particularly regarding setting more GPUs than your Computer has available that might cause Octane to 'freeze'.

***We've been here before But please test and feedback...

Sorry to say....maybe some others with more luck!

I'm the same as above .....

Cheers

Botheration!

I really thought I night have resolved the 'populate' issue. I had discovered that SKP attributes, ruby reading the html settings and the html settings were 'awry' - mixing booleans and strings... But the PC forgave it whist the MAC didn't - I sorted it and all should have been fine but it's not...

value=true >>> true on PC
value='true' >>> true on PC

value=true >>> true on MAC
value='true' >>> true on MAC

value=false >>> false on PC
value='false' >>> false on PC

value=false >>> false on MAC
value='false' >>> true on MAC

As being checked and disabled are true/false you can see the problem !

I'll prepare a MAC tester again to see what's happening... I'll post it shortly...

MAC users only - can you please try this new test html file Extract it from this zip file and use it to replace the equivalent file in the ../Plugins/Octane/ folder.
I am hopeful that it might at last allow the MAC version dialog's check-box values to populate correctly with the defaults for a new SKP [most off except camera] or preset values on a SKP that has previously used the tool and been saved/reopened... I found some omissions in my edit which don't affect PC users but might affect the MAC...

If this works I'll prepare a new full version issue for all users...

Feedback please...

Nothings changed. All are checked as before.

Thanks Burkhard... I'll have another think...
