Incorrect getting parm visible result March 27, 2023, 7:04 a.m.

Hi all,

I have a file that contains a texture, it's base color option is unchecked but the texture path has a file path.
it means I can't directly see the parm(basecolor_texture).

I reopen the file and get parm.isVisible(), result is True ?!

then I try click the 'use texture' option and retry parm.isVisible(), result is True
and unclick the option again, get parm.isVisible(), result is False

how can I get the correct result when just open the hip file?

Get Reference File Path Aug. 18, 2022, 7:56 a.m.

Hi all,
I currently make a tool for packaging file, I use hou.fileReference() to get but if .hip is too big like 500MB, it'll need too much time to get the reference file path. the function waste too much time searching node's parm but without any reference files.

Is there other way to get reference file path more quickly? Also, I think maybe I could search path by node type. For specific or some node type design searching method.

thanks for your help.

love.
