Wonderful Add-on! This streamlines the workflow for adding annotations to node setups significantly.
My only note is that whenever I delete or create an object in Blender I get a Python error.
Python: Traceback (most recent call last): File "...\Blender\extensions\system\node_annotator\control_panel.py", line 104, in draw search_results_are_for_tree = (search_op.results_for == space.node_tree.name) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'name'
Thanks for the review. I just uploaded a fix for these issues in version 0.4.1.
great addon
Works, does what it says. If you want to change default color, you can type Red Green Blue values in preferences.py file located in: user_name/.config/blender/4.2/extensions/blender_org/node_annotator/ or Windows App Data folder equivalent change those values 0-1 "Default Note Color", default=(0.1, 0.54, 0.14) to your preferable color and restart blender.
Thanks for the review. You don't need to change the default color in code. The preferences panel for the add-on shows the property to be set up interactively.
It can only be used in English and is not valid for other languages.
Thanks for the review. Unfortunately I'm only a single developer offering here the work of my spare time. I would only be able to provide a German translation, but none of the other 44 languages Blender supports. That's why I stayed with English. Which language would you be interested in? And would you be willing to support with translations into that language?
Helpfull add on
The basic functionality - annotations - works well and saves time over doing it manually. Wish you could choose the default box color.
Can't seem to get the info icon to work on geometry nodegroups in Blender 4.2.0. Usage of the refactoring section is unclear.
Thanks for the review. Just uploaded a new version. The default color is now adjustable in the preferences. Also the default title of a new note can be chosen.
The info icon appears, if the node group has a tool-tip text. This can be done by editing the description property of the node group itself: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/interface/controls/nodes/groups.html#group
Will soon try to explain the refactoring section better in the add-on's description...
There is no description how to use this Node Annotator. That is why I have given it one star, because it makes this plugin totally worthless!
Have you read the extension description? There's an explanation of all the commands the extension provides and a description where to find them. Just claiming there's no description, but not saying on what you're failing makes this rating quite useless to me, because I don't know what to improve. Thanks for your feedback anyhow.
Finally a tool to properly document information in node trees. Thanks!!
Very useful. One suggestion would be to include a "Lable size" field into the extension to quickly scale the text. Perhaps also a color selector. I know, that it is only a click away in the Properties panel and the Node panel but it would be very convenient to quickly scale the text and change the color.
