I've tried to add a custom UI parameter to a generator plug-in. The
associated custom view simply contains a button.
In FCP, the view shows up in the Controls tab of the Viewer. In
Motion, the view shows up in the Inspector, but in the HUD for the
plug-in the parameter shows as a (malfunctioning) slider instead.
If I replace my custom UI parameter setup with the code from the
Options Dialog FxPlug example, I get the same results, with the
slider in the HUD.
The Options Dialog example itself works, but it's a filter, not a
generator. I tried writing a filter with the custom UI parameter
setup from my generator, and it works correctly in the HUD display.
I can't think of any other differences, so I'm wondering if this is
a bug in generators only. Does anyone know anything about this, or
can anyone suggest some further testing to find out why the view is
not displaying in the HUD?
BTW, in Motion 'createViewForParm:' isn't being called for the HUD.
It's called for the first time when it's needed for the inspector.
In FCP, it's called once during startup, and then again when it's
needed for the Controls tab.
Quincey,
This sounds like a bug in Motion. It should be working the same as
with a filter. If you could file a bug report, I'd appreciate it.
