Property editor: order of properties / expose

Post by lerou » 26 Nov 2014, 15:11

Hi,

1st part:

Again, some might call the first part a feature request, I don't ;)

The properties in the property manager.. how are they sorted? (see image) I thought this would be alphabetical, but I get the feeling there is some randomizer at work. And it seems like the order is not static. When I started this container it was ok, but at some point the order changed. Also copies sometimes get a different order. This is hard to work with.

2nd part:

This might be connected to the second part: the fact that the whole property-expose-feature is buggy. I'm trying to come up with a reproduce for that, but so far it's all too random. Ventuz switches out the exposes for my values randomly. When I double click on an exposed value to edit it, Ventuz randomly selects Values and Categories from all exposed values... very weird. So far it was just a bit annoying, but today it really cost me time. I gave a complex container to my colleague and when he used it, nothing worked as expected. There were exposed values with the same name, but different categories. Like:

Mapping1 exposed as:
[Stage 1]
Mapping

Mapping2 exposed as:
[Stage 2]
Mapping

And after copying the container, the binding was changed to:


Mapping2 exposed as:
[Stage 1]
Mapping

Mapping1 exposed as:
[Stage 2]
Mapping

Thus making it impossible to work with the container :/

As I said before, it's very hard to come up with a reproduce. This only happens with complex containers with several exposes (and maybe after some copy&pasting). But I'm working on it and maybe someone else has already noticed a behavior like this.

cheers,
rou

Hi rou!

The second bug you are writing about is Ventuz' Most Wanted Bug!
We are chasing it already for years! We tried to reproduce it several time without success!

Cheers
Karol

Hi,

I have a scene here where I can reproduce the bug (Ventuz switching out my expose-bindings). Check your mail. Hope that helps.

cheers,
rou
