ToolData InitDefaultSettings

Hi again,

Working on a plugin I assumed that InitDefaultSettings would be called each time the python plugins are reloaded.
For now, the method is only called the first time the plugin is activated after starting Cinema4D, and only the first time you perform "reload python plugins" after Cinema4D has started.
Any subsequent "reload python plugins" just simply doesn't call the InitDefaultSettings.

Is this as intended?

Below is a simplified plugin which shows this behaviour.

  
import c4d  
import os  
  
from c4d import gui, plugins, bitmaps, utils  
  
PLUGIN_ID = 1031001 # dummy ID  
  
  
class Testing(plugins.ToolData) :  
  
  def __init__(self) :  
      print "__init__"  
      return  
        
  def InitDefaultSettings(self, doc, data) :  
      print "InitDefaultSettings"  
      return  
        
  def InitTool(self, doc, data, bt) :  
      print "InitTool"  
      return True  
        
  def FreeTool(self, doc, data) :  
      print "FreeTool"  
      return  
        
  def Message(self, doc, data, type, t_data) :  
      return True  
  
# =============== Main =============  
        
def PluginMain() :  
  try:  
      bmp = bitmaps.BaseBitmap()  
      dir, file = os.path.split(__file__)  
      fn = os.path.join(dir, "res", "Testing.tif")  
      bmp.InitWith(fn)  
      plugins.RegisterToolPlugin(id=PLUGIN_ID, str="Testing",  
                                  info=0,  
                                  icon=bmp,   
                                  help="Testing",  
                                  dat=Testing())  
  except TypeError:  
      # when performing a 'reload plugin' without the plugin being registered to the system yet  
      # -> user should restart Cinema 4D  
      print "Unable to load plugin (Testing)"  
        
if __name__ == "__main__":  
  PluginMain()

Hi,

sorry for being quiet here. I'm currently waiting for an answer from our development to give a more profound answer.

Hi,

I confirm ToolData.InitDefaultSettings() is only called once for each ToolData and execution of Cinema 4D.
So the default settings for a ToolData are initialized once and this is the normal behavior.
