PYBLISHGUI #281

Closed mottosso closed 8 years ago

mottosso commented 8 years ago

Goal

Enable GUIs to be registered via the command-line, before Python.

Motivation

Registering via pyblish.api.register_gui works well, but considering that all other Pyblish configuration has an equivalent environment variable, this should exist for completeness and consistency.

Implementation

# Windows
$ set PYBLISH_REGISTERED_GUIS=pyblish_qml;pyblish_lite

# Linux
$ export PYBLISH_REGISTERED_GUIS=pyblish_qml:pyblish_lite

Use native separator, from os.pathsep.

Discussion

Should the variable instead be PYBLISHGUIPATH to align with PYBLISHPLUGINPATH? Even though they are plural, and not paths?

How about defining the GUI showing method here? Instead of just registering the GUI names, you register the command for showing the GUI.

set PYBLISH_REGISTERED_GUIS=pyblish_qml.show();pyblish_lite.show()

I'd rather try this approach first, until we run into problems.
