Modifier Stack Manager

Changelog

Summary

This is a minor update primarily intended to fix the sync between active modifier on the list and the stack with a few improvements. Please find the list of changes below.

Change Log

• The active_modifier_index now syncs both ways. That is, clicking on a modifier on the list makes the corresponding modifier on the stack active and vice versa. Previously the sync was one way only – clicking on a modifier on the stack did not make the modifier on the list active.
• Added Show in Edit Mode as an optional toggle in the list view. This is disabled by default, but can be enabled from add-on preferences.
• Similarly, Show in Viewport and Show in Render toggles can be enabled/disabled from add-on preferences. Both are enabled by default.
• Move Modifier Up/Down hotkeys – Ctrl + Shift + Up/Down Arrow – are now repeatable. This allows the user to keep moving a modifier up/down a stack by simply holding the hotkey instead of having to tap multiple times.
• Updated add-on preferences UI layout.
• Updated the Modifier Specials dropdown menu with Modifier Remove operator and rearranged the menu items.
• When applying all modifiers on a lattice, if a modifier fails to apply, the operator stops and reports an error with the modifier’s name. Previously, the operator will continue to apply the remaining modifiers and simply report "Failed to apply all modifiers" in the end.

Changelog

Summary

This is a bug fix release. Check out the new features for v1.3.x here.

Bug Fixes

• Using the Remove Modifier button (–) in the UI after using the Ctrl + Shift + X hotkey removes all modifiers instead of just the selected modifier. This has been fixed.

Changelog

Summary

This is a bug fix release. Check out the new features for v1.3.x here.

Bug Fixes

• When applying modifiers on instanced objects, the confirmation pop-up shows Apply All regardless of whether Apply Modifier or Apply All Modifiers is executed. This has been fixed to show the correct operator name.

Changelog

New Features

• Move modifiers up/down using Ctrl + Shift + Up/Down Arrow hotkeys.
• Move modifiers to the beginning or the end of the stack by holding down Shift and pressing the up/down buttons in the UI.
• Remove all modifiers using the Ctrl + Shift + X hotkey.
• Collapse all modifiers using the Shift + C hotkey.
• Enable/disable Duplicate Modifier button and Apply/Apply All buttons using add-on preferences. Apply/Apply All buttons are now disabled by default.
• Added a new dropdown menu with some of the existing and new operators.
• Apply/Apply All operators ask for confirmation to make object data single-user when executed on instances.

Bug Fixes

• Running Apply All on an object that is active but unselected does nothing. This has been to fixed to apply all modifiers regardless of the active object's selection state.
• Running Apply All (either using UI or hotkey) when multiple objects are selected applies all modifiers on all selected objects. This has been fixed to apply all modifiers only on the active object.

Internal Changes

• Renamed operator bl_idnames for consistency and to avoid confusion with built-in operators.
• Modifier Move operator now uses the data API instead of ops. This enables better error reporting when operator fails.
• Apply operators now have a separate base class mainly to check for instanced object data using the invoke() method.

Changelog

• Updated the + button to display modifier search or the new modifier add menu instead of the old one. Users can choose between the modifier search or the modifier add menu in the addon preferences.
• Added an operator to expand the selected modifier only and collapse the rest. This can invoked by pressing Shift + E while hovering over the Modifiers Panel.
• Applying all modifiers now displays a message on the status bar when successful.

Changelog

Mostly internal changes to make operators handle different object types better.
