Thank you for the update.
I noticed something.
I bring up a floating panel, Alt+Shift+W, and targeting the WCB, and I get an immediate freeze!, need to close the app down.
not working for me!

Is there anything unusual about the file name?
sorry for delay, I'm on a project.
I double checked, No, there is nothing wrong with it!
I get this drag/drop Errors again:

I checked several .fbx files and those were fine! but this one with no apparent reason is not!
so I think there is something wrong with its description or something.. don't know!

WCB only handles drops in this case inside of a Geometry network in the network editor
I'm importing two .fbx file in sop level, the first one drops as expected but the second one triggers the Houdini import dialogue box with this error!

are FBX files treated differently or maybe something's wrong with the file itself!?
- for the cache file I switched to old one. I lost the warning for the cache though!.

What do you mean by "weird"? There is a limitation that you have to drop the files into an appropriate subnet (geo for .fbx) or Houdini will want to load the file directly. Is that what you're seeing?
Yes. first Houdini opens the .fbx file and the second drop of .fbx file makes Houdini to open it like It normally does ( dialog box , ..etc) that I don't want!
I'm using the new cache, and the console complains about the cache is not accessible.. blah blah....
I'll look at it again to narrow down the error possibilities and diagnose it a little bit more, but overall performance is something that I need it to be untouched at least.

Hello
sorry to say but this version seems too heavy, almost chokes down Houdini and I need to restart it.
for me It's enough to switch to the wormhole panel to get this kind of error again more or less.
drag and drop .fbx files also is working weird.
don't know what is happening but my best guess is creating thumbnails process!

Do you see the "Revert to Previous Value" action at the top of the parameter context menu?
yes I see it.
This error occurs in office pc not in home pc. however C:/Users/***/Documents/houdini18.5 is almost identical.
I think I need to check office Pc again. as you suggested maybe there is something else causing this not sure though.

hi
There's something that bothers me a lot and I decided to share it with you.
for the first time I open Houdini, right clicking on a parameter like ( Translate, Rotate.. etc) I get this kind of error:
Error while parsing a menu definition file
'C:/Users/***/Documents/houdini18.5/packages/content_browser_0.4.1/PARMmenu.xml':
Cannot find element 'revert_to_prev_val' needed for ordering of 'wormhole_load_file_parm_from_content_browser'.
Cannot find element 'revert_to_prev_val' needed for ordering of 'wormhole_load_color_parm_from_content_browser'.
this happens all the time, and I don't know what to do!
thank you

very cool!
thank you very much.
may I ask for a few features?
-is it possible to do flexible radial menu to list all the available cameras so one doesn't have to set it with top right drop down menu?
changing camera with radial menu on the fly is something I need most.
-and a camera bookmark, I know about shift 6-9 about storing bookmark, just I mean a tiny little floating panel on the viewport to store and restore the cam bookmarks (not like the Memory Bookmark witch is a little old stuff!
much appreciated!

Apprentice licensed HDA in Houdini Indie, which will fail due to the license incompatibility. Is it possible this is what you ran into?
Hello
yes exactly.
thank you very much.
PS: floating Vray asset browser is very cool. would it possible to make it a float asset browser(dockable, maybe) and with favorite folder and with adjustable thumbnail's size etc.

Hello
I installed plugins called "Houdini Expression Editor" and "Houdini Node Bookmarks" from CG Toolbox.
after that I get these errors!
is it related to those installation?!

BTW, where does it store those thumbnails of geos?
I suspect that is why lots of errors rises when opening a scene complaining about not being able to move cache files from here to there!..
that is what I'm thinking, I might be wrong!

Try to remove ";&" from the WCB line in the houdini.env file and see if it starts working again as expected
hello
no, that doesn't work for me, in fact I'd done it before, even tab the & to see if It works but no success.
using package is a great idea, the best way to implements tools for Houdini.
I'm using
Mops and few others through packages and they work great.
thank you very much

ophiuchus42yes.
Do you mean when saving presets with the gear button on the parameters of a node?
when 'save Preset To; is set to 'no entries', It's saved to the default location which is presets/sop/...
and this doesn't happen to me when this houdini.env path:
# Wormhole Content Browser install (do not edit by hand)
HOUDINI_PATH = $HOUDINI_PATH;C:....Documents\houdini18.5\packages\content_browser_0.4.1;&
is set.
deleting this line lets me to save it normally.

Hello
I'm working with it daily, for now I like it as it is but "Favorite directories" for quick access would be cool as well.
another thing that happens to me when saving presets, doesn't give me the permission to do so.
I deleted the wormhole line from houdini.env and It worked, gave me the permission to save presets, but I loose WCB.
what should I do?
thank you
