Light Lister Refresh

[glorybound]

The new light lister looks good, but I can't find the refresh button.

Does it actually need one? Seems like everything is updated in real time whenever I change something.

It didn't seem to for me, but I'll try again. I know that the old one didn't.

There is no need for a refresh with this one. Could you please share some details of what is not refreshing?

[glorybound]

I'll double-check. Maybe I assumed it didn't refresh.

Would it be possible to place the '(amount)' info at the end of the light description? We name all.our lights and use it to easily see what needs to be turned on or off based on cam and/or interior/exterior scene. Now that clean clear list of lights gets muddied when there are multiple instances.

Does the lister save the chosen visual settings? I feel like everytime I need to turn stuff on and off. We use the ev setting for exposure and by default it isnt in the list.

Thanks!

It also wont allow you to delete a selected light (leftside selection button) without activating the viewport window after every light selection

I registered your request but I can't promise anything. (VMAX-13832)

Edit: Can you elaborate on what bothers you? Is it the position of the brackets with the numbers that are in front of the names or it's something else related to the instances and how they appear in the stack of lights?

"Does the lister save the chosen visual settings? I feel like everytime I need to turn stuff on and off. We use the ev setting for exposure and by default it isnt in the list."- The preferred look of the lister is saved in the ENU folder. In addition, you could save your own template by clicking the gear icon in the corner. After that, you could load this layout into your new project.

"It also wont allow you to delete a selected light (leftside selection button) without activating the viewport window after every light selection" - This issue is already registered in the system under VMAX-13658.

- Yeah it is purely that the brackets and amount are at the front. It just visually messes up our list of lights making it less clear when reading which ones should be turned on or off.
- I saw the gear icon after posting, hopefully saving it will "bake" into our standard template file.
- Ok, great.
