v1.2.0

2017-Nov-08

Now houses publish2 plugin hooks and supports template-based worklfows

v1.1.7

2017-Sep-06

Improved jpeg exports.

Details:

• A new export_as_jpeg method is now available at the engine level.
• Some problems with generate_thumbnail are now fixed by calling export_as_jpeg:
  • Documents are converted to 8 bits during the export.
  • Documents size is now correctly retrieved and thumbnails are not generated anymore with the original document size.
  • Photoshop native dialogs are disabled during the export.
  • These improvements are available to any app already leveraging the generate_thumbnail method, e.g. tk-multi-publish2.

v1.1.5

2017-May-27

fixes saveAs typo

v1.1.4

2017-May-27

Adds additional save methods to engine to prevent context switching and to preserve the active document state

v1.1.3

2017-May-26

Wraps save as into active document setting

v1.1.2

2017-May-12

v1.1.1

2017-May-12

bumps required core version to v0.18.45

v1.1.0

2017-May-10

zero config updates

v1.0.17

2017-Mar-17

Converts active document paths that are unicode into utf-8 strings. This will better handle file paths that contain special characters.

v1.0.16

2017-Mar-16

Renames "context_follows_document" engine setting to "automatic_context_switch" to match that of the Houdini and Maya engines.

v1.0.15

2017-Mar-15

Adds "context_follows_document" engine setting.

Details:

Setting this to true will disable context changes when the active document is changed in Photoshop. Note that context changes will still occur as a result of loading a file with the workfiles app.

v1.0.13

2017-Mar-13

Fix for a bug related to context cache clearing on initial startup of SGTK.

v1.0.12

2017-Mar-09

Fix for a context cache bug that resulted in data missing from the cache when it shouldn't have been.

Details:

The complete fix for this bug in v1.0.11 will require v0.9.2 of tk-multi-workfiles2 in addition to the engine update here. This is a minor bug, though, which is tied to an edge case that most artist users will never encounter.

v1.0.11

2017-Mar-08

Refactors context caching to resolve inconsistent behavior during CEP extension restarts.

v1.0.10

2017-Feb-24

Engine startup active document fix, context header polish, and adds a getter method to the Adobe bridge class for getting the active document path.

Details:

The AdobeBridge getter helps resolve the issue surrounding attempted lookups of active document paths when the active document is "new" and has not been saved. The new getter properly handles that situation and returns None, rather than raising a RuntimeError and causing nasty log messages to be printed.

v1.0.4

2017-Feb-16

Panel console polish

v1.0.3

2017-Feb-07

Corrects the path delimiter used when adding to PYTHONPATH from javascript.

v1.0.2

2017-Feb-06

Reduces lag in py console and uses rpc when logging from py to js

v1.0.1

2017-Jan-31

Clickable command rows and minor polish.

v1.0.0

2017-Jan-30

Passed QA and ready for release!

v0.0.1

2017-Jan-20

First release candidate for the tk-photoshopcc engine!
