Hi all,

Just posting here to see if anyone had any insight.

We'd be interested in customizing the Stage Manager LOP Node. By default it has a file browser.
We store USD files via URI reference using our custom USD ArResolver (https://github.com/UTS-AnimalLogicAcademy/turret [github.com]). It'd be great to populate the stage manager with our assets, perhaps even a thumbnail, and when dragged have it use our uri instead of a file path on disk.


Anyone got any experience or also interested in doing this?

Cheers,
Ben Skinner

These pyside interfaces are basically just python panels. You can now make python panels available on nodes as an option when editing/crearing the panels.

I reckon you can basically chuck in your modifications in the statemanager python panel and should be good to go.

At Blue Sky we've copied the Python Panel for Stage Manager, and added our Product Browser to pull in assets out of Conduit into Solaris. You can catch a quick glance at it here, during the launch event: https://youtu.be/Aql6SIOIyXs?t=2929 [youtu.be]

I believe most of the work was in panel.py, where we added to the drag/drop events in StageManagerTreeView to pass the paths from our Product Browser (which is just a Qt widget); we just added ours alongside the default file picker, in the StageManagerPanel class. I didn't actually do the work, and the person is out for a while, but that's the gist of it! That person had 99% of the functionality working after only a couple of days.

Hope that helps!
