What's New in Scripting

Trigger Python embedded code and external scripts from Action buttons

A new device named Script (Embedded Code) has been implemented. Unlike the current Script devices, this new device does not need the Python script to be located in a file on disk. Instead, the Python script code is on the device itself. A Python Script Code property lets you specify the Python script code associated with this new device.

Used inside a Relation constraint, this new device eases the process for invoking custom action when pressing a custom action button property.

Python Editor Copy Full Path menu option

A new Copy Full Path option has been added to the Python Editor context menu. Use this option for copying the full path of the script.

Current Line Highlighting feature

Current line highlighting has been added to the Python Editor work area (bottom window). When enabled, the line with the current line ( the line with the caret) is now highlighted.

See Python preferences.
