markinglevfx 58 Posted November 1, 2019 (edited) Nice! I have made a similar kind of thing for myself. Something I included was adding 'metadata' as detail attributes to help identify caches easier than just their version number. Definitely helps when your client asks you to revert back a few versions to one they liked earlier! Maybe you could add this in too?

mik74 3 Posted November 1, 2019 Hey! Yes cool, I could add this too! The only thing I don't like is to keep track of the hipfile just with a detail attribute sync to the version... For example, if you cache a sim, you continue to work and forget to save a new version and hit ctrl+s (which is a pure reflex for me haha), if you've done some modification on your sim , you've lost your settings for the previous cache, and you are fuc***... This is why in my OTL there is a toggle to copy the current version of your hip, in the cache folder. So you exactly know from where it come, and no way to mistake And since a Houdini file is rarely more than 10MB, it's all good! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jorge Medina 0 Posted September 4, 2021 (edited) Hi, I downloaded Cacheit but, could you confirm that it works with Python 2.7 and 3.0? When running on H18.5py3 it gets mi this error. Quote Error running callback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "Sop/CacheIt/read", line 1, in <module> File "Sop/CacheIt, PythonModule", line 25, in setColor NameError: name 'reload' is not defined Edited September 4, 2021 by Jorge Medina Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pezetko 137 Posted September 8, 2021 Hi, I haven't seen this HDA, but that error sounds like it is py2.7. In python 3.7 reload is no longer build-in. So for Python 3.7, you have to use: from importlib import reload Reload function is usually used during development to quickly modify module code without restarting the application. So its usage could be probably omitted (just delete/comment out the code like this): reload(something) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
