Updating openPipeline
Since openPipeline for Maya is open-source, the team operates under a "release early, release often" ideology. Of course we test it to the best of our abilities but bugs crop up and more importantly we have a lot of things we want to add. As such, we release new versions often. As a general rule #.0.0 is for major (non-beta) releases, 0.#.0 is for large feature releases, and 0.0.# is for bug fixes.
New versions of openPipeline ask you to replace the .mel files that we have updated so the steps are as follows:
- Back-up your installation of openPipeline including openPipeline.mel and the openPipeline folder. Most important to back-up is the openPipelineProjects.xml file which stores your project information.
- Once backed-up, copy the files from the new openPipeline folder into the installed one. We have been restructuring the code and rearranging MEL files so for 0.9.x it is best to replace all the MEL files.
- Only replace the openPipeline.mel file if you have changed the location of openPipeline or you are instructed to do so for that version (we try not to edit this file).
- Place the openPipelineProjects.xml file back into the openPipeline folder.
- Launch openPipeline as normal.
