I did find the published-parameters section, with the parameter ids like 100/101, 100/102, etc. I noticed that if I remove the 100/101, 100/102 entries and just put in a line for "100", with the group name, it publishes the entire group of parameters. The group header shows up in FCPX and is collapsible but doesn't show a disclosure rectangle - but it does work. So it appears that publishing a parameter group automatically publishes all of the parameters in it. If only Motion would not disable the "Publish" menu item when over a group header. Would save so much time!

Re: determine which push button parameter is pressed?
by Darrin Cardani 28 Apr '14

Paul, Not that I know of. It’s probably easiest to just make your 1 method, and have a different action method for each button press that simply calls the 1 method with a different value. So something like this: - (void)ButtonPushed:(int)button { // do whatever } - (IBAction)button1Pushed:(id)sender { [self ButtonPushed:1]; } - (IBAction)button2Pushed:(id)sender { [self ButtonPushed:2]; } etc. Darrin On Apr 28, 2014, at 12:35 PM, Paul Miller <paul(a)fxtech.com> wrote: > When using multiple pushButton parameters (from the new v4 parameter creation API), is it possible to tell which one was clicked (the parameter id) when using the same callback/selector? > _______________________________________________ > Do not post admin requests to the list.

Paul, It still doesn’t officially support publishing groups, but it turns out you can do it anyway, if you’re sneaky. :-) I have never actually done this myself, but I’m told that once you publish your parameters, you can save your template, then open it in a text editor and mess with the flags on the parameter group you want to use.
