cycling through channelbox/attributes/hide

[paulwconnor]

Here you go: just written this for you: does the trick! ;)if (`isUIComponentVisible("Channel Box / Layer Editor")`) {



toggleUIComponentVisibility("Attribute Editor");

}

else if (`isUIComponentVisible("Attribute Editor")`) {

toggleUIComponentVisibility("Attribute Editor");

}

else toggleUIComponentVisibility("Channel Box / Layer Editor");

updateMainWindowComponentState();



... just paste that into the script editor, then drag it onto the shelf, and all you have to do is click the relevant button. :) Alternatively, make a new hotkey which calls this script...

ahhh, a thousand thanks! i know it's annoying to have people beg for scripts and such but often i really don't have a choice :(.

works perfectly!

Cheers,

whenever i try to edit the script to switch between channel and layer, it says channel box doesn't exist. What is the reason for that.


if (`isUIComponentVisible("Channel Box")`) {



toggleUIComponentVisibility("Layer Editor");

}

else if (`isUIComponentVisible("Layer Editor")`) {

toggleUIComponentVisibility("Layer Editor");

}

else toggleUIComponentVisibility("Channel Box");

updateMainWindowComponentState();
// Error: A component called "Channel Box" does not exist. //

Your problem is that the "Channel Box" and "Layer Editor" are both part of the same UIComponent: "Channel Box / Layer Editor".

Looking quickly, if you use either of the commands:


showChannelsLayers "Layer Editor";
showChannelsLayers "Channel Box";
showChannelsLayers "Channel Box / Layer Editor";



... when the Channel Box / Layer Editor is visible, the appropriate item will be displayed. You shouldn't have any problems adding those to the 'cycler'. (I'm a bit tired after a long day of programming, I'm afraid!)

still not sure...sorry.
do i replace with isUIComponentVisible with showChannelsLayers "Channel Box";

can't work how its done. not very script orientated myself. but can't live without them
