3D Viewport Pie Menus

Changelog

Fix enable state of hotkeys not getting saved

Changelog

I have disabled automatic saving of hotkey preferences for now, since this would sometimes result in corrupting. Save manually for now. Awaiting Blender-side changes for long term solution.

Loading still happens automatically on start-up.

Changelog

• Fix fallback operators for the drag pie menus not being correctly assigned.

(So when you enable mouse dragging to invoke an operator, but invoke it without mouse dragging, it should now correctly fall back to the operator whose shortcut is bound to just pressing the key combo.)

Changelog

Hotfix issue #78: Error causing potential loss of hotkey customizations.

Changelog

• Workaround a Blender issue that caused a conflict with the Gesture Helper add-on. This required changing the format in which preferences are stored on disk. This should be versioned up correctly, but in some cases you may have to re-tweak your preferences, or reload the add-on once after updating to this version.
• All pie menus now use the custom wrapper operator which supports Only-On-Drag pie menus. So even pie menus that don't appear only on drag by default, can be configured to do so.
• Slightly re-organized the hotkey list UI.

Changelog

• New "Object Add Pie" on Ctrl+Shift+A, requested by users. You can change it to Shift+A to overwrite Blender's built-in pop-up.
• In Blender 4.3 and beyond, Alt+` shortcut now does the new UI docking operator, which makes the old pie menu on this shortcut obsolete. In prior Blender versions, the old pie menu remains.
• Fix Ctrl+Alt+X -> "Origin to Bottom" not working as it did back in v1.3.2.
• Fix some poll errors, which may have contributed to unregister errors, which may have contributed to keymap system issues, but I doubt it.

Changelog

• Add an operator to add WeightedNormal modifier to selected objects, under Object Display Pie (Shift+W)->Shading Operators.
• Preferences UI now auto-adjusts based on width.
• Remove "Load Hotkeys" button as it seems unnecessary, and renamed "Save Preferences" button to "Save Pie Hotkeys" to be more accurate and distinct from Blender's similar functionality. The hotkeys should auto save, but if they don't for some reason, this button can help.
• Fix an error when trying to use Select by Name pie with no active object.
• Fix Purge operator was grayed out in outliner due to having removed Better Purge previously.

Changelog

• Add buttons to manually save/load preferences, to help troubleshoot an issue where preferences fail to save or load. Please let me know if it helps, as this was affecting a lot of people but I could never reproduce these issues.
• Add 4.3's new docking operator to Window Pie
• Remove Better Purge operator, hasn't been necessary for a while
• Fix "List Datablock Users/Dependencies" not working for geometry node groups
• Fix some parts of Sculpt Brush Select Pie not working in 4.3 release
• On Request: Invert nomenclature of "Fullscreen" vs "Maximize" in the Window Pie
• On Request: Add Viewport/Render visibility toggles to Object Display Pie
• On Request: Manipulator Pie now has options for all combination of manipulators

Changelog

• Actually add "Apply Rot/Scale" to Apply Transforms pie, instead of "Apply Loc/Rot" that I incorrectly added in the previous update.
• Fix Set Parent Pie not being blocked for linked objects or non-editable override objects, where it would do nothing. These cases now result in a red tooltip explaining why that won't work.

Changelog

• On Request: Add "Apply Rot/Scale" to Apply Transforms pie, on user request. Remove "Make Instances Real" since it's extremely niche. If anyone misses it, say so.
• Fix unregistering conflict when my Blender Log add-on is also enabled.
• Fix error in Parenting Pie when target is an armature with no active bone.

Changelog

• Fix Manipulator Pie (Alt+Space) not behaving like it used to. Each option now sets the manipulator to ONLY the chosen type. You can hold Shift for the previous behaviour of TOGGLING a type of manipulator instead of setting it as the exclusively active one.
• Fix Purge Orphans not working when there is no 3D Viewport somewhere on the screen.

Changelog

Minor polish:

• Object Display Pie (Shift+W): Add a workaround button to copy the color to all selected objects. This was needed because Alt+Click doesn't currently work due to a Blender bug/limitation.
• Make "Reset Normals" operator work in Edit Mode.
• Try to address some rare console warnings in hotkey registration code, even if I could not reproduce.

Changelog

Thanks to everyone for reporting bugs, annoyances, and giving suggestions. I've been trying to address all types of feedback to make the add-on great for both old and new users.

Highlights

• Add "mouse-drag" toggle for the 6 pie menus that by default only appear on mouse drag. You can now make them appear instantly if you prefer.
• New Select by Name Pie (Ctrl+F).
• New Object Display Pie (Shift+W).
• Reworked Object & Mesh Selection Pie (A).
• Reworked Preferences UI.
  • Added Report Bug button. Please use this instead of the Review system...
  • Now includes built-in Pie preferences as a sub-panel.
  • Hotkeys are also a subpanel.
  • Added ability to display preferences in the sidebar.

Tweaks

• Slightly reworked "Mesh Flatten" (Alt+X) pie, formerly known as "Mesh Align".
• Slightly reworked "Preferences" (Ctrl+U) pie, formerly known as "Defaults".
• Editor Switch: Outliner and Properties sub-types are now shown as a drop-down list, based on feedback.
  • Had to swap Asset Browser and Properties sub-types (topleft<->topright) for this to work well.
• Tapping ` (Grave Key) in default Blender with "Pie Menu on Drag" enabled activates Fly Navigation. I thought it was doing Toggle Orthographic, whoops.
  • 3D View Pie -> Down is now Toggle Orthographic instead of Fly Navigation.
  • For 2.7x and Industry Compatible keymaps, tapping ` now activates Fly Navigation.

Fixes

• Fix Outliner couldn't be set to Blender File sub-type.
• Fix Ctrl+Space throwing (harmless) error on pop-out windows.

Changelog

Hotfix infinite pie menus causing crashes and freezes.

Apologies for those affected, this was pretty bad. I'll be more careful.

Changelog

Hotfix for hotkey customizations not being saved for pie menus that only appear on mouse drag.
