@m_magalhaes said in Different behavior on Mac for Commanddata options:

hi,

thanks for linking the other thread and yes, that's the difference with the mac menu on the osx bar.
On those menu we can't add the cogwheel so we choose to display the option by default (with was the old behaviors)

cheers,
Manuel

Ok, clear.
Please mention it in the documentation.

What I also notice, is that - on the mac - when I do a customize command and add the plugin as an icon to my interface, the option icon is there and it works like expected.

I have a commanddata plugin that has options enabled using the PLUGINFLAG_COMMAND_OPTION_DIALOG flag.
On the pc everything is ok, I see the option icon in the command and I can select it.
However, on the mac (Catalina 10.15.6) I do not see the option icon and when I click the command (the commanddata plugin), it goes directly to ExecuteOptionID() and not to Execute()

Here the stripped code

import c4d
import os
import sys
from c4d import gui, plugins, bitmaps, documents
from c4d import utils


PLUGIN_ID_MESHBOOLEAN_COMMAND_SUBTRACT = 1039980 

        
class MyOptionsDialogSUBSTRACT(gui.GeDialog):
    OK = False
    
    def InitValues(self): 
        return True
        
    def CreateLayout(self):
 
        self.SetTitle("MeshBoolean Command SUBSTRACT Test 01")        
        self.AddDlgGroup(c4d.DLG_OK | c4d.DLG_CANCEL)  
        
        return True
        
    def Command(self, id, msg):
 
        if (id == 1):   
            self.OK = True
            self.Close()
            
        if (id == 2):   
            self.OK = False
            self.Close()
            
        return True
               
class MESHBOOLEANSUBSTRACT(plugins.CommandData):

    dialog = None

    def Execute(self, doc):
        print ("Execute")
        print ("Done test")
        return True         #end plugin

    def ExecuteOptionID(self, doc, plugid, subid):
        print ("ExecuteOptionID")
        
        if self.dialog is None: self.dialog = MyOptionsDialogSUBSTRACT()
        self.dialog.Open(dlgtype=c4d.DLG_TYPE_MODAL, pluginid=PLUGIN_ID_MESHBOOLEAN_COMMAND_SUBTRACT, defaultw=500, defaulth=120)
        
        print ("OK: ", self.dialog.OK)
        if (self.dialog.OK):
            self.Execute(doc) 
            self.dialog.OK = False
        return True

if __name__ == "__main__":
        
    pluginString = "MeshBoolean Command Subtract"    
    bmp = bitmaps.BaseBitmap()
    dir, file = os.path.split(__file__)
    fn = os.path.join(dir, "res", "command subtract.png")
    bmp.InitWith(fn)
    
    okyn = plugins.RegisterCommandPlugin(id=PLUGIN_ID_MESHBOOLEAN_COMMAND_SUBTRACT, str="#$1 " + pluginString, info=c4d.PLUGINFLAG_COMMAND_OPTION_DIALOG, help="MeshBoolean Command", dat=MESHBOOLEANSUBSTRACT(), icon=bmp) 
    if (not okyn): 
        print("Error initializing " + pluginString)

Ok, success.
Copying the plugin folder from pc to mac was the issue!

I now changed projectdefinition.txt to compile my own plugin, but i keep getting

File "/Users/pgrooff/Documents/R23_sdk/sdk_R23.008/frameworks/settings/sourceprocessor/declarations.py", line 123, in writeToFile
f = open(file, 'w')
IOError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: '/Users/pgrooff/Documents/R23_sdk/sdk_R23.008/plugins/getloglines/generated/sourceprocessor.stamp'
Command PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code

Is the sequence of building correct?

After
"The default interactive shell is now zsh.
To update your account to use zsh, please run chsh -s /bin/zsh."

I started Xcode, did a "Clean Build Folder" and compiled again.

• Error
• Compiled again
• Error
• Compiled again
• ...
• ...

Success!
So, I had to do a lot of compiles, before I had success.
I guess the hxx files were not generated yet.

I will now try my own plugin.

Here the folder structure.

Even compiling everything from default (microsdk) gave an error:

error: Build input file cannot be found:
'/Users/pgrooff/Documents/R23_sdk/sdk_R23.008/frameworks/core.framework/generated/hxx/register.cpp' (in target 'core.framework' from project 'core.framework')

I downloaded and installed everything from scratch.
I am using Mac 10.15.6 and Xcode 11.3.1.

I compiled my plugin for R23 on a PC and no problems.
Now I want to do the same on the Mac (10.15.6) using Xcode 11.3.1.

I copied the sdk and the ran R23 projecttool to /Documents.
Everything seems ok, plugins.xcode was created and looks good.

Again, I am doing everything in my Documents folder, so I should not have any protection / privilege issues.
But I get the following IOError.

projectdefinition.txt

Thanks, it is working.
