Dear Alain,
I was wondering if there was a fix for the refresh on this plug-in.
If a scene is renamed, the scene name doe not get refreshed in XGS Slate.
Cheers
Andre

XSI Net ( w/ source code )
Greetings,
Just a quick note to mention that I published a new version of
Xgs_Slate ( v1.5 ) on XSI Net.
Go to http://www.softimage.com/xsinet_ and look under "add-ons" or
search for "Xgs_Slate". _
_The archive contains Xgs_Slate version 1.5 compiled for XSI v4.0 and
another one compiled for XSI 4.2. _
_The plugin source code is included. _
*_Installation : _*__
* _download archive ( 050117 - Xgs_Slate v1.5 - All.zip ) _
* _XSI 4.0 : extract "050118_Xgs_Slate_v1.5_XSI_4.0.xsiaddon",
install the Addon and restart XSI_
* _XSI 4.2 : extract "050117_Xgs_Slate_v1.5_XSI_4.2.xsiaddon",
install the Addon and restart XSI_
* _File > Preferences > Custom > Xgs_Slate : allows you to modify
the plugin parameters_
_ _
*_NOTE :_*_ a bug was found in XSI which causes it to crash when
trying to uninstall an addon containing a XGS plugin. If you already
installed the addon on a machine and wish to replace it with a newer
version, you can avoid this issue as following :_
* _quit XSI_
* _go into your user installation folder, e.g. :
C:\Private\Setup\users\alainl\Softimage\XSI_4.2_
* _delete file Data\Preferences\Xgs_Slate.Preset_
* _edit file Data\Preferences\default.xsipref ( text file ) and
remove any references to Xgs_Slate parameters ( if any )_
* _delete the addon file from Addons\InstalledAddons_
* _delete the Addons\Xgs_Slate folder_
* _launch XSI_
* _install the addon_
* _restart XSI_
* _all should be working fine_
_ _
*_Modifications from v1.4 to v1.5 :_*_ _
* _replaced the Mask "Aspect Ratio" parameter with a "Standard"
pulldown menu containing standard aspect ratio definitions like
the ones found under Camera > Properties, as well as the ability
to specify a "Custom Ratio" value_
* _renamed "Mask Colour" as "Outside Color"_
* _added "Inside Colour" parameters to control the color of the
view inside the mask_
* _added "Field Guide" control parameters :_
o _new parameter to control display of the Field Guide_
o _new parameter to indicate the display area : View, Mask
or User-defined ( in this case a "Standard" pulldown menu
and "Custom Ratio" parameters are available to specify the
area )_
o _new "Safe Title" and "Safe Action" parameters which
replicate the options available in the Visibility Options_
