Hello!

I'm creating simple GeDialog and I'm wondering is it possible to remove color picker that is now default in ColorField in C4D R20?

For my use what I'm trying to achieve there is no need for color picker and it is taking too much space from my dialog.

Script:

import c4d
from c4d.gui import GeDialog

class Dialog(GeDialog): 
    def __init__(self):
        super(Dialog, self).__init__()
 
    def CreateLayout(self):
        self.SetTitle("Dialog")
        self.GroupBegin(1000, c4d.BFH_LEFT, 0, 0)
        self.AddColorField(1001, c4d.BFH_CENTER)
        self.GroupEnd()
        return True
  
dlg = Dialog()
dlg.Open(c4d.DLG_TYPE_ASYNC, 0, -2, -2)

Hi, not sure how I missed the solution from your first post. I need to be more careful. Thanks and sorry for the confusion.

storage.ShowInFinder(folder, True)

Works prefectly. Cheers!

Hi, sorry I totally forgot to tell the system specs. I did just a couple tests. Looks like it just was a Windows - Mac difference before.

Windows 11 and Cinema 4D R26.013 -> Opens parent folder
Windows 11 and Cinema 4D R25.117 -> Opens folder itself
Windows 11 and Cinema 4D R21.207 -> Opens folder itself

MacOS 12.3.1 (2018 MBP) and R26.013 -> Opens parent folder
MacOS 12.3.1 (2018 MBP) and R21.207 -> Opens parent folder

I'm gonna use following code to open straight to the folder location

import os
import c4d
from c4d import storage

def main():

    f = storage.GeGetC4DPath(c4d.C4D_PATH_PREFS) # Get preference folder path
    f = os.path.dirname(r''+f+'') # Go up
    f = os.path.join(f, '_bugreports') # Bug reports folder
    storage.ShowInFinder(f) # Open folder

    if c4d.GeGetCurrentOS() == c4d.OPERATINGSYSTEM_WIN: # If operating system is Windows
        os.startfile(folder)
    else: # If operating system is Mac
        os.system('open "%s"' % folder)
        
if __name__=='__main__':
    main()

Thanks for pointing out!

Hi, just noticed that ShowInFinder function in Cinema 4D S26 opens the parent directory instead of the given directory, like in previous C4D versions. Is this a known change or a bug?

Here is an example script that should open the _bugreports folder

import os
import c4d
from c4d import storage

def main():
    folder = storage.GeGetC4DPath(c4d.C4D_PATH_PREFS)
    folder = os.path.dirname(folder)
    folder = os.path.join(folder, '_bugreports')     
    storage.ShowInFinder(folder)

if __name__=='__main__':
    main()

It works in Cinema 4D R25 (and older versions) but in S26 it opens the parent directory of _bugreports instead.

Hi, thanks for the information. Hopefully it will get fixed in the future updates.

Cheers,

Hello. I recently hopped from R21 to R25 and noticed some weird behaviors with R25.

If I create a modal dialog with a color field in it and try to open the color picker window by clicking the color field, it doens't open in R25. This works in R21.

Code for the modal dialog setup:

import c4d
from c4d import gui
from c4d.gui import GeDialog

# Classes
class Dialog(GeDialog):
    def __init__(self):
        super(Dialog, self).__init__()
        self.res = c4d.BaseContainer()

    # Create Dialog
    def CreateLayout(self):
        self.SetTitle("Dialog")
        self.GroupBegin(1000, c4d.BFH_CENTER, cols=1, rows=1, groupflags=1, initw=125, inith=0)
        self.GroupBorderSpace(5, 5, 5, 5)
        self.AddColorField(2002, c4d.BFH_FIT, initw=70, inith=13, colorflags=c4d.DR_COLORFIELD_POPUP)
        self.SetColorField(2003, c4d.Vector(0,0,0), 1, 1, c4d.DR_COLORFIELD_ENABLE_COLORWHEEL)
        self.GroupEnd()
        return True

# Functions
def main():
    dlg = Dialog() # Create dialog object
    dlg.Open(c4d.DLG_TYPE_MODAL, 0, -1, -1, 0, 0) # Open dialog

# Execute main()
if __name__=='__main__':
    main()

When creating an asynchronous dialog, the color chooser window will pop up correctly.

Code for the async dialog setup:

import c4d
from c4d import gui
from c4d.gui import GeDialog

# Classes
class Dialog(GeDialog):
    def __init__(self):
        super(Dialog, self).__init__()
        self.res = c4d.BaseContainer()

    # Create Dialog
    def CreateLayout(self):
        self.SetTitle("Dialog")
        self.GroupBegin(1000, c4d.BFH_CENTER, cols=1, rows=1, groupflags=1, initw=125, inith=0)
        self.GroupBorderSpace(5, 5, 5, 5)
        self.AddColorField(2002, c4d.BFH_FIT, initw=70, inith=13, colorflags=c4d.DR_COLORFIELD_POPUP)
        self.SetColorField(2003, c4d.Vector(0,0,0), 1, 1, c4d.DR_COLORFIELD_ENABLE_COLORWHEEL)
        self.GroupEnd()
        return True

# Open async dialog
dlg = Dialog() # Create dialog object
dlg.Open(c4d.DLG_TYPE_ASYNC, 0, -1, -1, 0, 0) # Open dialog

Is this a known bug or is something changed in the SDK that I should accomplish this an another way?

Btw, also the color picker doesn't work in the R25's color chooser window.

I'm running
Cinema 4D R25.010
Windows 10 (21H1)
