Easy resource file manager v1.2

Overview Updates 11 Reviews 16 History Discussion. CUAManager by Blazedust v1. No more fiddling around trying to re-attach CustomUnityAssets when changing appearance in a scene or re-enabling certain clothing details when changing clothing. This allows presets hair, nails and other character details to load automatically when changing appearance.

Now you can align and center linked atoms perfectly. Do not add as a scene plugin! Now this plugin will run every time you start VAM. A session plugin will be active across all scenes. Redo this each time you download a new version of a session plugin! This plugin will select whatever person you select in the scene or choose from the 'Active Person' selector.

As you edit a character and change appearance you probably already have that person selected. First type in a unique name for your preset and then press the save preset button. All enabled clothing items for the active person will be included in the preset. Make sure to remove any clothing items that's not part of the character look only keep hair, nails enabled etc All linked atoms that this plugin is configured to handled will be included in the preset.

So make sure you have the presets aligned correctly. Select a unique trigger morph for your look and select a preset and press the 'Add Trigger' button. You can set up multiple triggers for the same trigger morph. Next time you change appearance all presets set up with auto load triggers with that look will be loaded automatically, whether it being linked CustomUnityAssets or clothing items.

Adjust it to fit your personal preferences and other plugin interfaces. OBS: To see the quick buttons while editing the layout make sure to select any person atom in the scene first! You can disable the buttons in the plugin's interface by unchecking the quick-buttons options. Spoiler: Show version history Changelog v. This makes the UnitAssetVamifier plugin colors work with CUAManager as expected instead of defaulting colors back to white and other plugins using color parameters.

This is a workaround for color parameters that works good enough! Changelog v. All presets are still stored and saved to the legacy plugin folder.

Click the 'toggle clothing triggers' button in the plugin UI or in the quick buttons. You can enable this as a quick button from the quick button options. It has changed the album icon, taking the album deep color to make the center deep, and added adding album button.

It has changed the layout of the timeline interface, moving the time spots to the top of the split line, and adjusted the space of the time spots. It has changed the layout of As the main wheel builder in Linux industry, Deepin Technology Team has been thinking, what do terminal users need the most?

In conclusion, fast, low occupancy of resources, ultimate terminal experience, and high level of appearance. Start and close in a second, it is smooth as drifting cloud and flowing water; easy creating of multi-workspace and present to you as tag pages, workspace can be split into several windows, you deserve to have this multi-thread efficient working experience; enhanced remote management support, uploading and downloading will Besides performance optimization, developer emphasized on fixing bugs according to user feedback.

Deepin Image Viewer is an image viewing and managing application elaborately crafted by Deepin Technology. It is fashion and smooth, supports many image formats. It's security by obfuscation, too -- anyone can view those videos if they know the link, instead of just people enrolled in that course. I don't know if what I wrote about above is "easier" than what you're proposing. It depends on what level of security you want, I suppose.

Our videos are mostly very context dependent -- it wouldn't do someone much good to watch them without getting the material that surronds them, so our "security by obfuscation" scheme works for us. If you want to protect your videos more, your inexpensive streaming host sounds like a great solution. The 2mb user defined limit can be changed, yes, but then you're uploading a 30mb file into a page every time you want to link to it, when a link to that file that lives elsewhere saves you that time.

With these explanations I now at least partially understand the new moodle 2. A question that remains however is:. If one were to create html page 1 and place on it an uploaded video let's call it "video A" , then create html page 2 and upload "video A" again does the moodle 2. I am guessing it is not the latter since you cannot reuse file tag names.

If it is the former creating two isntances of the file that seems like it could become a hard disk space liability with larger file sizes. For people that only beleive what they see, Tim has already indicated how you can be sure of this, just in case you would do the test I am copying his words :.

An important point is that to know if it is the same file or not Moodle don't look at the filename but at the file content. So if 2 differents users of your Moodle upload the very same 1Gb video even if it has differents names only one physical copy of the video will be stored on the server! Absolutely no place wasted. Also no need to worry for unused files.

If a file is not used anywhere by any users it will be automatically deleted after some time. I don't want to say that the new file manager is perfect in fact I think it still miss some essentials features. For me also changing my way of doing things in Moodle is hard, as as I am rather old maybe it's even harder than for younger people.

But I think the new file manager has also a lot of avantages and a lot of interesting new features. If I upload file A and then point a bunch of resources to it, then delete file A from the repository and replace it with file B with the same name, none of the resources update. Granted, I do not have a degree in computer science, but I can't see how that is physically possible with only one copy. The data is in one place, and other resources have a way to get to it, but if that data changes, those resources somehow still seem to find the data that was supposedly deleted, and they have to be updated to point to the new data.

In that case, you are getting 2 copies. There is no way that that is not what is happening. Moodle has assigned some other resource ID, a hash or something, and ignored the user's request to delete it or replace it or do anything with it.

There are multiple copies. Making a change to your class results in extra clicks and bloat which is purged, evidently, sometime, but not when you tell it to. I am afraid there is step right at the start of your post where you gloss right over the key point:. If you manually change the file, then that relationship is no longer there. Maybe there is some code that depends on this. Tim or Petr is your best bet to get clarity on this. No need to have a degree in computer science for that I don't have one!

No need to understand in detail the code that the talented moodle programmers have done to make it happend. Allow me to interject here: At this point, I would exect all those resources that I made with this target to be broken, because the file is removed from the repository. As we all know, those resources will not be broken, since the file's data still exists in the database and deleting it from a repository is doing nothing more than deleting the text of its name from the list.

Now, if these were real files, at this point, all those resources that were set to target the original file in my private repository would now be updated to reflect the changed file I just uploaded. This is not the case, as those resources are not pointing to a file.

They are pointing to a string of data in the black box of the database, and have never been associated in any way with the list in my repository, because my repository does not really exist as anything other than a list of names that are associated with invisible entries in the database.

If I want those resources to update to the new version of that file, I still have to go into each and every course that uses it, edit those resources, and point them to the new file in my private repository, which will actually just point them to the string of data associated with that name in the invisible database.

This is not an issue of me not understanding what's going on; it's an issue of me not liking what's going on because it makes teachers and administrators who have to run multiple classes that use a few of the same resources go through and update every single resource in every class that points to a file that has been updated. I understand why the system has been changed better security, more options for setting permissions--hey, great things, to be sure!

Storage has been completely obfuscated in Moodle 2 and largely taken out of the the user's control. And that is very irritating to many users. Please just take a trip through these forums and have a look: A lot of users are very frustrated with the repository system because it makes automation or even just efficient hand-editing of classes really difficult.

Most of us complaining about this do not understand what's going on at first, but even after getting really good explanations, as I have in this thread and others thank you for that, regardless of my feelings about the answers! Once you can't reinsert a file of the same name without getting this "file already exists" error, is there a way to update a file in the recent files folder?

Let me explain my problem First, I uploaded an image to my repository and it appeared in the recent files folder, as it was supposed to. Then, I inserted this image in different pages, using the upload from recent files in the file picker. Later, I updated this image in my own repository external one , but I couldn't upload it again, because I always got "file already exists" error.

To insert this new image, I had to rename it, and thus, I got two images almost the same in the recent files folder - one of them I do not intend to use again. I understand that I need to update the image in every page I inserted it before, but, what about the recent files folder?

Is there a way to remove the old one from it? Or is there a way to update it or I'll really have to live with the two fo them? We are having the same issues and have tried everything to fix this. How did you get the movement from draftfile to pluginfile working? Was it just what was suggested here? I have created a first round of explanations about 2. There is some text and 3 charts. Take a look and let me know what you think. My old workflow that I just mastered and seems to be vasted now.

I created multiple 50 questions using word mail merge. The questions are with images as question and answers. How could i do this now? Where shoudl i but the pics and what is the correct path for those pics?

There is no path. The new system moves everything into the database and then the "repositories" are just lists of text that are linked to entries in the database.

What would be really nice would be to see the Moodle dev team I think it'd require the core team make a set of "admin tools" or something to handle these issues; they've really done a number on virtually anyone who has more than one course.

I have a few questions myself : what is it good for to attach metadata to the files we upload if there is no search engine for the server files? Did anyone find an easy way to find files in the server file? Whenever I try to find a file there I remember how my son's room looks like he's a teenager!

It's a compete chaos. I just figured out the repositories! I have used Google Docs and Dropbox for about three years now. I've also recently signed up for Box. It is not too difficult to add these except for Google Drive, yet as repositories. I keep a huge number of files on Dropbox, so having direct access to them will be useful. I went to the Repositories link in the menu, and enabled Dropbox. I was directed to a page for an API key, and the page has a link to go to Dropbox to get it.

From there, it was relatively painless to get the key and the secret name to set my Dropbox up as a repository. I now have direct access to all those files directly for using as resources in courses. The repository shows up with the other file locations when adding a resource. Same with Box and Youtube.

Haven't set up Google Docs because I don't use it very much. So, what does this mean? I can do all my file work on Dropbox, which is really just like any other folder on my computer, and then add any file in Moodle because my Dropbox folder opens up there. I work on a desktop at home, a laptop at work, and my Android phone and tablet just about anywhere. With Dropbox, I have these files available anywhere, on all of my devices. I have actually edited courses on my tablet, and will now add files as resources there because I have Dropbox as a repository now.

Hello everyone, I have been reading most of this thread, and feel indeed hat the best way to go is having a separate file server from the main Moodle. So, for what seems to be a fairly large crowd, for some time to come, the "My private files" folder seems to be the way to go. When you upload files to that folder and then create Ressources or activities by the way , those files are actually COPIED to the "ressources" manager.

This means you cannot create an alias of the main file for the ressource expecting that file to draw its sub-components from the original "my private files" folder. You must copy ALL the components, otherwise the links are broken. Besides there is a bug that prevents you from updating the common files, even if you were ready to recreate manually all your sub folders and then copy manually all the aliases within them for the links not to break. When that flaw has been corrected M2.

Tim- So how does one link to a list of files? Confused, d. Average of ratings: Useful 3. Thanks Tim, I think I am still very confused about managing my files, however your explanation has solved my problems for now and removed some of the frustrations. But no. Average of ratings: Useful 1. Hi Aaron, There is a workaround for html files. Then link to it from other courses. This is what I've done here: Make your course look more like a regular homepage - which explains in detail the "invisible section" technique.

When you edit the Page, all the links to it will show the modifications. Cheers, Glenys.
