What’s new in Silhouette 2020.5.6

Features

Create Tracker > Center of View

Point Tracker > Create placed the tracker in the center of the screen. If you were zoomed in and panned off the center, you wouldn’t see the tracker that was created. Point Trackers are now always created in the center of the current view when using Point Tracker > Create.

Note: Alt-clicking still adds a tracker wherever you click.

Dragging Past Min/Max Parameter Values

When dragging on a value field with an edit range different than the display range, for example the OCIO Gain control and some Sapphire controls, the value can now be Alt-dragged all the way to the edit range limits.

Scripting

Python API To Add Dynamic Ports

Added scripting support for dynamic ports.

• node.addPort() – adds a new dynamic input port and returns it, otherwise None if the node does not support dynamic ports.
• node.removePort(port) – removes the port if it is dynamic.

Remove Single Point Shapes In Nuke Export

• When scripting a Nuke shape export, there is now a check for single point shapes.

Changes

Trees Window Interaction Rewrite

Trees window interactions were rewritten to solve various bugs.
