Custom IODescriptor Types for tk-core

Pipeline Integrations

Hello,

I would like to have the ability to define custom IODescriptor types via a hook or some other method.

I have started some work on this here: https://github.com/shotgunsoftware/tk-core/pull/768

However @jfboismenu has shown some of the issues with my currently incomplete implementation.

It was recommended to me that I reach out to the community to determine interest before I go down this route any further.

My current implementation allows for customized IODescriptor types, and will load your custom hook on the creation of the first IODescriptor

So yeah, this is a starting place to gauge interest in this feature. To see if it’s just me looking for this level of customization.

Thanks

Hi Alex!

Did this gain any traction with the Toolkit development team? We’ve had to for tk-core at our own studio as well to add a custom IODescriptor, and are hoping to not take on the technical debt of maintaining a fork.

Thanks!
Nikhil
