A plugin to be used with version 2 of Prism Pipeline
Prism automates and simplifies the workflow of animation and VFX projects.
You can find more information on the website:
DeleteFunctions adds the ability to delete project items throughout the Prism2 UI. This plugin allows deletion of Scene Files, Products, Departments, Tasks, Versions, Media, and Library items without using Windows File Explorer. This plugin also adds Restore functions to un-delete items if needed.
The delete functions are in the right-click menu of most types of items. If an item exists in multiple locations, such as a global version and a local version, a user has the option to delete the entire version, or just remove from a specific location.
A new menu tab called Delete Functions will be added to the User Settings. In this menu a user has the ability to enable/disable the delete functions globally. A directory needs to be selected to hold the deleted items until purging. If the folder is unavailable, the delete functions will be disabled to prevent deleting to a unreachable location.
Deleted files will be moved to the user-selected holding directory to allow for restoring the deleted files if needed. Deleting subsequent files with the same name is possible (ie deleting v0002, creating a new v0002, and then deleting that). The files with the same name will be renamed with a suffix, but the restore function will place them back to the original location with the original name. If a file with the same name exists in the original location, the file will NOT be overwritten and the restore will abort.
Deleted files in the holding directory can be periodically purged based on a duration specifies in the use Settings, or manual purged at any time. If the hours timer is set to Zero, the autopurging will be disabled and deleted files held until manual deletion.
