App Manager Overhaul
The list of applications obtained a new look, so did the file icons. Relatively rarely used things (project creation, templates, settings, network management, licensing, help links, and version info) were moved under the toolbar located on the left.
On the application page, the operator buttons are implemented as a toolbar on the right. This includes the buttons for launching the Puzzles, opening app folder, uploading app to Network, uploading zip archive to Network, deleting and updating projects.
To further speed up the workflow, most operations will produce dialog windows instead of redirecting to new pages.
Applications with many files are now expandable using the black triangle on the left of application name. An application’s main html and scene files use special icons.
Also the buttons for opening folder and deleting application were added to each line.
There is now a search field for filtering applications in the list.
The delete button now moves an application to the system Trash folder rather than destroys it permanently, making it a less risky operation.
The screen that appears after uploading to Network is complete, was redesigned. To it, we added the buttons for copying to clipboard among other things.
Network directory obtained beautiful icons for the uploaded files. Selected files can be deleted from the Network using a button on the right. The list of uploaded files is filterable thanks to the search feature.
There is now a button for interrupting the upload to Network.
It is now possible to use a custom folder for applications. So you can put your applications in some other folder rather than verge3d/applications, and these apps will be appended to the list bottom.
When opening such applications, they’ll get the /ext/ prefix in the browser address bar. (Warning: at the moment you need to restart the dev server in order for this custom folder to be picked up.)
There is a switch between light and dark themes in the settings window.
The App Manager now works much faster with lots of projects thank to file-access optimizations.
Standard Application Templates
There are now two Standard templates (Light and Dark) from which news applications are created. This will allow you to better fit the target website’s theme.
We also changed the design of the preloader and the fullscreen button. Let us know if you like them!
Important: you must select your app HTML/CSS/JS files when updating in order for these changes to take effect.
Puzzles Editor
We also redesigned the Puzzles Editor, restyling the UI buttons, tabs, adding better looking dialogs and a preloader screen for the Puzzles.
There is now a Library button (the most left) that reveals a new toolbar with library items.
The nearby button allows you to get more space by hiding the toolbox.
The next button, Render, hides and reveals the viewport window, and the forth button sets the focus on the center of occupied workspace.
The Run and Save buttons work as before. The other two buttons in the center are Undo and Redo. The final Help button opens the relevant User Manual page.
The hotkeys for the run operator have been changed to Ctrl-Space.
The Puzzles library is now accessible from the Init tab.
Blender-only
Custom properties are now retrieved from the scene rather than from the world data block.
Just thought of one more thing:
The ability to expand applications with large amounts of files is great. Is it possible for this view to support sub directories? My applications list is growing daily, so I’ve dropped all of the code examples into a sub directory. The current view just treats this as a single application with a ton of files. Would it be possible to expand this and see the directory for each example within?
Is there a specific thread to report issues regarding this build?
Please feel free to create new threads in the bug reporting forum.
See Attached file to see the issue.
The object is pink – looks like textures are missing.
You might want to attach a zip with textures.Blender 2.82/Verge3D 2.17.1; it does not show any object or material in the browser.
Verge3D 2.17.1 is not fully compatible with Blender 2.82. You should use Blender 2.80 or 2.81 with that version.
