Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

the question from the title....:

Is it possible to toggle the FXstack HUD on/off via a keyboardshortcut?

i can't find the command in the keyboarshortcutlist.
but maybe there is a workaround via george?

Hi Peter,

I've looked in the George command documentation, and there's no HUD toggle option command.
I'll talk with Mike when he comes back from his holidays to see if he can add it

Hi Peter,
You can't toggle HUD, but you can toggle Preview which turns off/on Preview AND HUD. Cut and paste the following into an Embedded George Script button:

That would be great Thierry!

And thanks for thinking with me Sven, but i really need to switch between a preview with and without HUD.

If you don't have any Preview of an FX pending, all this script does is toggle preview with and without HUD... at least try it, it might work well enough until Mike gets back.

the script doesn't seem work, it just toggles the FXstack preview?

but maybe i'm doing something wrong.
because it has never become very clear to me how to work with scripts.
the LINUX version of tvpaint somehow doesn't allow me to copy paste the script in the "embedded george script panel"
so i saved the script as a text file which i renamed .GRG then i used "set script" to get it into an action...

Sorry Peter, you are right... the Preview AND HUD toggle on and off in unison. The Stack commands need updating.
1. new command which toggles HUD only (0,1)
2. And tv_StackPreview... (and a new command, tv_StackHUD?) should RETURN the PREVIOUS state when run.

Sven

Both options (Toggle HUD with shortcut and with George command) have been added in the *todo-list*

Good!
