Looks like some kind of eccentric cursor erasure updating?

For a long time I've had a short script that does something similar to Peter's suggestion (but more economically I think) which creates a mask or inverted mask for all frames in the current layer: The script toggles between three states... 1. Normal stencil: it creates (and hides) a temp copy of the...

At some point it was suggested to me that one way to delete/remove an obsolete userstring data entry in the CONFIG.INI file was to include the following line in a script (where the text is left empty). tv_writeuserstring iSection iName "" I have not tested it myself. In my experience, the ...

Thanks Thierry... fingers crossed.

Will the GEORGE commands update identify which version of TVPaint each command is compatible with?

Hi guys... Kudos for a very worthwhile thread demonstrating the power of custom GEORGE scripts.

Here is a link that includes a discussion on "String Packing" techniques using ReadUserString and WriteUserString in George that might prove helpful.

Slowtiger: when I jump to YouTube to view the "SMASH" video, after it completes playing, the "making of video" link appears - clicking on that shows the 2nd video.

Ah! Thanks, I'll check it out...

Mistakes in Manual: Beyond spelling mistakes, I suspect some HTML strangeness, in how the mistakes below (and mistakes actually in manual) are displayed??? Arithmetic operators and examples -negative: 18 -> -18 **exponent: 18**3=181818=5832 __________ should be 18*18*18 NOT 181818 multiplication: 18...

Something I've been wondering about for a long time: Is the exact X and Y position for a custom panel stored somewhere accessible? If so, can the X, Y values be accessed AND can they be edited/tweaked? Could this feature be added to the "This Panel" options? Anyone have a pet solution for ...

+1 Agreed! Backing up the current state of Config during a session is a missing option. How it would work is worth discussing too. Manually, click to provisionally save current settings as they would be if I exited now. Automatically, by default, update every five minutes or update after any change ...

K,
I grabbed your 2 tvpx files... I'll have a look tomorrow.

K, I've distilled the essential steps to show how you might use GEORGE scripting to have two (or more) processes assigned to a shortcutkey or shortcutkeys using a FLAG. I'm uploading a demo that shows the possibilities, nothing more, in bare-bone scripts. Short Cut Keys Demo.png Hope this helps towa...

K: I wasn't sure how familiar you were with GEORGE (which is really simple once you get syntax down.) Give me a day or two to look at some of my old GEORGE scripts and I'll post some simple code that might help: With setting flag values in Config - and key-scripts that read flag values, then do diff...

On occasion when I want one Function key to perform several different functions I will... 1. use tv_WriteUserString to set a flag value in the Config file. 2. in the script assigned to the Function key, use tv_ReadUserString to look at the flag value, then execute the appropriate action using if/the...
