Geometry Nodes - Mix Color node is added back to the Color category - add to Add Shelf

[Draise14]

They added the same Mix Color node with a different default to the Color Category in Geometry Nodes. So we should update the Add Shelf. The Utility Mix node defaults to Float. Mix Color defaults do Color.

They had one job ... ^^

Yeah.. they merged the nodes, then they split it again... jeesus christ.

No icon creation involved, let's tackle it

This task is mission impossible. What the heck. From the add menu it works. From the sidebar it is forbidden ...

Either way, postponing for after 3.3.1.

I think the cause here is that this particular node has settings.

Normal operator: bpy.ops.node.add_node(type="ShaderNodeMixRGB", use_transform=True)

This particular operator: bpy.ops.node.add_node(type="ShaderNodeMix", use_transform=True, settings=[{"name":"data_type", "value":"'RGBA'"}])

I am having a hard time though to pass these settings to the python operator . It refuses to work. I tried everything i can think of now. Obviously i missed the working method ...

            props = col.operator("node.add_node", text=" Mix Color      ", icon = "COMBINE_COLOR")
            props.use_transform = True
            props.type = "ShaderNodeMix"
            props.settings = [{"name":"data_type", "value":"'RGBA'"}]

Well, it creates the node. But cuts off the two at the end since it errors out at the settings. And it starts of course in Float mode ...

The crazy part is, i just want to read it, so why does it moan that it is read only?

@iyadahmed , do you have an idea how to write the props settings here so that python doesn't fail at it?

[ReinerBforartists]

I simply can't see what i do wrong here.

I have now at least added (surprise, don't ask me why it initially failed) the prop. It starts with the wrong mode though. The Float mode. Since i cannot tell it to set it to RGBA mode.

As told, any help is highly appreciated.

Seems to be fixed in master, clicking the button though creates Mix Float instead of Mix Color,
also same issue with Mix Vector button
