HI!
[Toolkit] Toolkit will now remember which action you prefer per Task. [VMR-2456]

This is not happening on linux and mac : (
At least not after reopening the app.

Hey hi, @macbeth,

The message behind this release note entry was that previously, there was only one entry for the last actions. Someone starting Maya on an asset would see Maya on a non-related task because of the way the implementation was done.

Now, if you start Maya on a first task and Photoshop on another task, both tasks will have an entry in the app to hold the information of what was the previously launched tool in that context. That way, the first task will have a quick launch button for Maya and the second one for Photoshop.

Nothing has changed related to the commands are persisted, so no, it won’t stay after you close the app.

Sorry for the confusion,
Kerby

Hi! Thanks a lot for the explanation.
I know I can add custom apps via launchapp or even the shotgun software GUI, but all these get added inside the “Open in…” menu.

Is there a way to pin a custom app outside of that menu? to the same level of “Add time log” ?
Thanks!

Unfortunately no, you can’t. What would you want to put here? Is it other toolkit commands or arbitrary commands?

Hi thanks for your quick reply.

I just want to pin some custom apps at the very top, then all the other software (we have a lot) inside the open in menu …

  • Open latest comp version in RV
  • Open latest comp Nuke file
  • Custom Publish
  • Custom Send to farm

Basically use it as a Task Manager

But to be honest the real problem, is that it doesn’t remember the latest choice after reopening, if I could pin the latest 3 choices at the top even after restart that would be great.
