Gizmodal-Ops

Describe the bug I installed the latest version of Gizmodal Ops, but I cant get it to work. I am using default controls (keymap) and everything. No error messages are showing up when installing or trying to use Gizmodal Ops.

System Information:

• OS: Windows 10 and 11
• Blender Version: 4.0.2
• Addon Version: 1.0.1

Hi @WilliamDusk-Art, thank you for your report! I'm assuming you're using version 1.0.1, and you're having issues with Gizmodal Ops, even though you're using the default Blender keymap on Blender 4.0.2, correct? Are there any error messages that show up when installing or trying to use Gizmodal Ops (If yes, please send screenshots of these error messages)? What happens, if you install Gizmodal Ops and press G? Best regards, Blender Defender

Indeed I am using the latest (1.01) of Gizmodal Ops and I tried both with my custom controls and basic controls, nothing diferent happens, when I press G I get the default move operation of blender, not the Gizmo.

And I get no Error message when instaling.

Alright, can you send me a screenshot of your keymap when searching for G (by Key Binding), similar to the one I've attached below? I'm interested in what it says under Object Mode -> Move.

By the way, what operating system are you using?

Gladly! I've tried on a PC with windows 10 and another with Windows 11.

Okay, can you try to uninstall the current version of Gizmodal Ops, restart Blender and reinstall Gizmodal Ops? Under Window > Toggle system console, you can enable the console window of Blender, where more information about potential issues might be accessible. If you could upload a screenshot of the console output that shows up just after enabling Gizmodal Ops, this could help troubleshooting your issue.

Sure, done!

Hmm... just like I thought. I've attached an adapted version of Gizmodal Ops, which creates additional logging output and saves it to a file:

%HOMEPATH%/GizmodalOpsLog.txt

You can copy and paste this file path, and it should open the log file. It would be really helpful, if you could send me the content of this file. GizmodalOpsDebug14_01.zip

Sure, here is what was writen in the TXT

Starting up Gizmodal Ops 3D View Image Toolbar Popup Window Gizmodal Ops Register - Warning: Key Pose not found. Gizmodal Ops Register - Warning: Key Object Mode not found. Gizmodal Ops Register - Warning: Key Curve not found. Gizmodal Ops Register - Warning: Key Curves not found. Gizmodal Ops Register - Warning: Key Mesh not found. Gizmodal Ops Register - Warning: Key Armature not found. Gizmodal Ops Register - Warning: Key Metaball not found. Gizmodal Ops Register - Warning: Key Lattice not found. Gizmodal Ops Register - Warning: Key UV Editor not found.

Okay, this differs by a lot compared to the logging output I had when testing on my device. Can you send me the userpref.blend file from

%appdata%/Blender Foundation/Blender/4.0/config

, so I can try to reproduce the issue with the exact settings that you are using?

Please check your preferences before sharing this file to be sure that you don't accidentaly expose personal information. Thank you very much in advance.

Hello, I don't have much to add to this discussion, I just wanted to comment that I'm having the same error that WilliamDusk-Art mentioned.

Hi @elvzfx could you try installing the debug version as well and uploading the log output from

%HOMEPATH%/GizmodalOpsLog.txt

?

Maybe this gives me a clue, what the cause of the issue might be. Thank you very much in advance!

There, dont think I have anything too sensitive other than the dir of the plugins I use... here. userpref.zip

Hm 🤔 I am unfortunately not able to reproduce your issue, so it's probably not due to your preferences differing in some way from mine. Here's a quick fix that you can try to get Gizmodal Ops working on your machine:

1. Search for "G" (, "R", "S") using "Key-Binding"
2. Replace transform.translate (, transform.rotate, transform.resize) with gizmodal_ops.move (, gizmodal_ops.rotate, gizmodal_ops.scale) for all the following entries (see Screenshot):
   • Pose
   • Object Mode
   • Curve
   • Curves
   • Mesh
   • Armature
   • Metaball
   • Lattice
   • UV Editor

These steps should hopefully get Gizmodal Ops to work (don't forget to save your preferences after doing this). Please reach out in here again if Gizmodal Ops works after doing this, but deactivates upon restarting Blender. I can offer you to try out troubleshooting your issue further in a Discord call where you share your screen, so I can hopefully understand, where the problem originates from. You can find me in the Pidgeon Tools Discord Server, I am an admin there, with the same profile picture as here on GitHub.

It only worked for me when I replaced the gizmodal commands in the "object mode" and "Mesh" tab as well. thanks!

This did the trick! Thank you so much!!

I wonder if in my case I'll have to do this every time I install a updated version of it, but still not much of a hassle and worked like a charm :D

I'm glad to hear that it worked out well for both of you, @elvzfx if you want to get Gizmodal Ops working in pose mode as well, you need to replace the operator in the pose mode tab. If you want to use Gizmodal Ops everywhere, where it's intended to be used, you need to replace the "commands" in all of the tabs I've listed.

Hi, unfortunately I have the same problem and even changing the various transform. does not work :(

@Dwarben Sorry to hear that you are experiencing this issue as well. What operating system are you using Gizmodal Ops with?

@Dwarben Sorry to hear that you are experiencing this issue as well. What operating system are you using Gizmodal Ops with?

I use Windows 10 with blender version 4.0.2

@Dwarben Alright, could you try installing the debug version as well and upload the log output from

%HOMEPATH%/GizmodalOpsLog.txt

? Maybe this contains something that can help me debug Gizmodal Ops.

@BlenderDefender it seems to work. but a strange thing happened, basically after activating the debug version and testing it on some projects, I closed and reopened blender and the default settings were back. I don't know if it's due to the addon, but anyway I'll keep you updated.

@Dwarben Do you have "automatically save settings" enabled or turned off?

I have the autosave of preferences active

Huh, strange. Another thing you could try is starting up Blender with the default preferences and no custom addons installed and look what the logs say there. It's really hard to debug this issue from here, as I am not able to reproduce it...
