So where is George?

Post by slowtiger »

OK, I'm late to the party, but today I wanted to try and create a George script. See Manual, it tells me where to look for the George script. I go there but ... there is nothing!
Opening the TVP app/contents/ressources, I see papers and all the stuff, but no folder called "George". Not in my 10, not in my 11 installation. A search on the whole Mac yields nothing.

So, where is it? I feel like I was driving a car for years and now find it has no motor ...

You have to look at the george documentation on the website, or the old tvpaint george wiki but it's not up to date

Thank you - but this still doesn't give me the location of example files on my machine, which should have been there from installation on.

Ah, indeed I can't disagree. This part of the doc probably used to be true with TVPaint 10 but not TVPaint 11.

Anyway you can find a few examples in TVP app/contents/ressources/plugins/Timesheet.grg

I'm going to be honest, I have never seen those either.

On Windows, there is a folder named "George" in the TVPaint 8, 9, 10, and even 11 installation directories, but I have never seen any file in those folders.
I even reinstalled a TVPaint 8 just to be sure a few mintues ago, but the folder still stays empty.

But, when reading the documentation, it says that files will appear in the folder when you export a custom panel.
However, I just tried that, and no file appears.

So, something broke, and it broke a looooooong time ago, because it doesn't work in TVPaint 9, and on TVPaint 8 as well.
We will update the documentation for the next release to remove this wrong information (and possibliy remove other wrong or outdated info regarding George).

But will we update the software ?
I don't know. This is not a priority, and I don't think it will become one.
