Good idea!
I was going to abandon this development work in favour of CGWire integration development. Although anyone could pick up the work from here.
Another thought I had was whether avalon --manager
should be the entrypoint for all project managers like CGWire/Ftrack/Shotgun?
In the case of online managers this would simply open the webbrowser.
Experimenting further with CGWire, and I think the Project Manager still has a productive place to fill in the Avalon pipeline.
There are a number of features/issues that needs looking at in CGWire to be on-par with the Project Manager.
How about implementing those in CGWire? It's open source, and I could put up a guide for how to get started - it took a while to figure out (lots and lots of steps and out of date docs), but I managed to boil it down to 1 clone and 1 docker run, no install.
How about implementing those in CGWire?
Yeah, I would definitely be up for looking at that. And a guide to get started would help a lot!
Still think that this PR has a place to be merged. CGWire is not an easy project to get into, and some studios might prefer not to use it at all.
Actually have just tested colorbleeds launcher out, and it has easy access to the project manager, so think we may not need this PR after all.
Ok, let's resubmit if it becomes interesting again.
Goal
Have the Project Manager be the starting point for users.
Implementation
Initially this just exposes the manager to the distribution with
avalon --manager
. Currently the Project Manager does not have features to create/save/load projects, so you have to pass a project name to loadavalon --manager myProject
.Once the Project Manager can create/load/save projects, this PR can be merged.
