yeah, i'm definately goign to look into supporting more languages when i
get the time. (in fact i'e laready added jscript and vb to the custom
pref's language drop-down - but that's just the easy bit ;)
i'll let you all knw how it goes.

Very interesting indeed… I liked the way you implement the system. It
looks stable and flexible enough to use even if it supports python only.
Of course if you can expand it to support VBScript and Jscript by adding a
custom preference for this point it would be great.
Thanks,

This is great Homam!
I've been working on a python plug based on the very same idea. My
motivation was that i became tired of having millions of little script
files on disk and wanted to a way to keep scene specific scripts with
the scene. I created a kind of super annotation for mine, called
scriptBubble. It also has a big shiny button on the PPG for running the
script. I made a custom preference where you can set a header string to
be included in each bubble's context when it is run (so i don't have to
keep typing things like ap = Application etc in every bubble).
I also have a preference that will export the bubble PPG object as some
special string so it's easy to get to the scriptBubble Custom Property,
and it's parent etc, in a generalised way.
At the moment i'm working on an [unrelated] xsi python module, and i
have an xsi scene with lots of scriptBubbles with tiny snippets of
implementations of the module for testing.
The whole thing is working very well!
So yeah, this is great, and i think there are millions of uses for your
idea, Homam!

Thanks for the good idea Andy! I’ll try to re-write my narration on the
presentation slides as an article and post it to xsi-blog.
I’ll try to include also some production samples for this system in the
article.
Regarding the merge objects case and other object generator operators,
since the scripts on each object are stored in their own properties;
they’re easily transferred to the new generated object simply by dragging
and dropping and they’ll get executed both as they’re truly merged.
For me I prefer to make the merge operator have the ability to transfer
the attached properties to the new generated objects like it do with
materials and UVs.
Thanks,
