Hi,

This is kind of making me feel dumb and for the sake of it cannot figure out how to:

Start only one instance of pyqt widget using the ‘pyqt_houdini’ helper.
To be honest I wouldn't know how without using it, so I guess it's not part of my problem

I tried heaps of things, storing the app in hou.session, querying the toplevelwidgets and what not. Houdini/QT either segfaults, I get duplicate widgets crashing each other, you name it.

At the end of the day I just look sad to the next desk where the guys are happily dragging qtDesigner .ui files into their Maya and claim “it just works”.

Actually I'm not a big fan of qt at all, but trying to emulate nested xml data with 31k nodes using Houdini's subnets and basic Tree View feels somehow so 1995 and is actually really slow.

Enough ranting, anyone feels like sharing the snippet ?

Thanks,

Georg
