0.9.101

New UI and Tasklists

🌺 Anchorpoint should not feel so heavy. So we have completely adapted the interface again. The preview page is undocked (like in the macOS Finder) and can be closed via space.

📝 We finally have tasklists (or TODO lists ;) ) You can now create tasklists in every folder and assign attributes to them.

Here again an overview

  • The Delete Files popup can be turned off in the preferences
  • Autoplay of videos can be turned off in the preferences as well
  • The scrolling state is saved
  • The video position is saved
  • Projects can now be created directly from the project list
  • Colors, layouts and spacing in the UI have been adjusted
  • The Compact Mode can be turned on and off with Tab
  • In Compact Mode Anchorpoint can be pinned and stays always on top
  • The preview page is opened and closed with Space
  • Versions and comments load faster
  • Fullscreen mode
  • Tasklists can be created in folders
  • Tasklists can be checked by users
  • Attributes show who has checked a task and when
  • Attributes can be added to tasklists
  • Attributes work on sequence entries

Actions

  • DCCs can be started via actions with dedicated enviroment variables
  • Actions can be deactivated
  • Actions work on multiselection
  • Settings (credentials, custom paths to DCCs) entered by the user are stored in a settings store accessible via Python

Python updates, offline mode and other little fixes‍

This update focuses on the Python API. It is now much easier to build user interfaces with Python. A console and automatic reloading of scripts makes Python development much faster.

  • Python console
  • Python api updates for simple gui building
  • Action examples on GitHub
  • Full offline functionality (you can edit metadata when being offline)
  • Horizontal scrolling in list
  • Easier attribute editing in grid view
  • A pinned app icon does not create a new instance of Anchorpoint
  • Support for alpha channel in videos
