Introduction
This is a simple script that, like pyflakes for python scripts, checks a Blendfile for 'niceness' From our perspective, it does checks that make it easier for people to understand/use each other's library files, and uses/enforces/creates a text description file with the same name, so that we can describe our groups:
libraryfile.blend and libraryfile.txt
errors/warnings are written to libraryfile.err
Installation and Usage
Installation
- Start a new file and go to the User Preferences, select the Addons tab, and click on "Install Addon..." in the lower part of the window.
- Browse to the file blendflakes.py (usually in tubeSVN/lib/python/addons,) select it and hit Enter
- Check the activation box next to the addon, and then press "Save As Default" at the bottom of the window.
Usage
- Open a model file you want to check.
- Press 'w' and select Show Warnings/Errors in library file (you can also use the spacebar search)
- Blender will output all warnings by default, and select offending objects.
- If you use w and want to change options, do so in the last operator region in the toolbar, then press w again (If you use spacebar search you will get a popup anyway)
- warnings are shown in the info area (drag down the header)
- if export is checked, they are saved to libraryfile.err (where libraryfile is the name of your .blend file)
- If you have a lot of warnings you might want to uncheck some of them and tackle them a few at a time.
List of Warnings
Following is a list of the things we check for:
