Project Manager #13

Closed tokejepsen closed 6 years ago

tokejepsen commented 6 years ago

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 load avalon --manager myProject.

Once the Project Manager can create/load/save projects, this PR can be merged.

Good idea!

tokejepsen commented 6 years ago

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source, and I could put up a guide for how to get started - it took a while to figure out (lots and lots of steps and out of date docs), but I managed to boil it down to 1 clone and 1 docker run, no install.

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.
