Open Most Recent File

[eisenbruch]

This feature in v2.0.24 changelog caught my eye:
"Added the possibility to launch a .blend file by dragging and dropping it onto a Blender version in the Library tab."

I think it would be great it there was also an option to launch the blender version you are currently hovering over, with the most recent file loaded automatically.

This would save me nearly all my startup time, as I usually just open my last file.
I don't want to find them in the file explorer, and then drag and drop it (even though that is a great feature and I am sure it will come in handy!)

IIRC Blender has an --open-last command so this should be done pretty easily!

huzzah!

[eisenbruch]

when will this get released? or...how can I learn to compile myself and replace my installed version?

[eisenbruch]

i figured out how to build but when i try to run the exe i get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "windows\main_window.py", line 75, in
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'resources_rc'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 8, in
File "", line 1027, in _find_and_load

File "PyInstaller\loader\pyimod02_importers.py", line 419, in exec_module
File "windows\main_window.py", line 85, in
NameError: name 'exit' is not defined

help? :) trying to learn

if I run pdm venv activate I get:
WARNING: Can't activate a non-venv Python C:/Users/spinn/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python310/python.EXE, you can
specify one with pdm venv activate <env_name>

not sure what i need to do

ah sht, the docs are wrong, I'll upload better ones
Try running python build_style.py and then python source/main.py

[eisenbruch]

ahhhh already loving this new feature :)

Yeah i really need to work on those docs. Tbh a lot of that stuff is automated for me due to how i setup my shell so it definitely needs to be worked on
