because “RhinoScript” is not a child of “Options”. I’ve tried googling around but I don’t understand where it is nor do I understand how to list all the children and strings within the PersistentSettings class, can you help? Thank you!
def RemoveRhinoScriptStartupPath(path):
'''removes a command from rhinoscript startup path list'''
path = path.lower()
rhino_id = Rhino.RhinoApp.CurrentRhinoId
settings = Rhino.PlugIns.PlugIn.GetPluginSettings(rhino_id, False)
settings = settings.GetChild("Options").GetChild("RhinoScript")
paths = settings.GetString("Startup").splitlines()
if path and path in paths:
paths.remove(path)
settings.SetString("Startup", "\n".join(paths))
I see the confusion, unfortunately they decided to put multiple plugin settings within the Options UI, so you need to get the settings specific to the RhinoScript plugin for your scenario:
These are the key/values available within the RhinoScript Plugin Settings. You can use these similar to the way the General options work on the Rhino App plugin.
With your help I can now print the settings as a list and modify that list, but I have a new issue where it appears that none of the changes I make are actually being applied.
In the below code, I attempt to modify the settings, and then I print the StartupFileList again to confirm that it has been modified, it appears to be successful. But, the actual setting is not being updated in Rhino Options (even with a Rhino restart). The paths persist and I can’t seem to update the setting. Am I not saving or pushing the change correctly? Also asking @dale because I see he wrote a related guide
Here is my code:
def removeRhinoScriptStartupPath(path):
'''removes a command from rhinoscript startup path list'''
path = path.lower()
# Get the startup script paths
rhinoscript_id = Rhino.PlugIns.PlugIn.IdFromName("RhinoScript")
settings = Rhino.PlugIns.PlugIn.GetPluginSettings(rhinoscript_id, False)
raw_paths = settings.GetString("StartupFileList")
print("Raw paths:", raw_paths)
paths = re.findall(r"<value>(.*?)</value>", raw_paths)
print("Extracted paths:", paths)
# Remove the desired path
for item in paths:
print("Checking item:", item)
if item.lower() == path:
print("Found match. Removing:", item)
paths.remove(item)
break # Stop after removing one match
# Reconstruct the structure
updated_paths = "<list>" + "".join(["<value>{0}</value>".format(p) for p in paths]) + "</list>"
print("Updated paths:", updated_paths)
# Save the updated settings
settings.SetString("StartupFileList", updated_paths)
Rhino.PlugIns.PlugIn.SavePluginSettings(rhinoscript_id) #?
Rhino.PlugIns.PlugIn.RaiseOnPlugInSettingsSavedEvent() #?
# Print to confirm settings updated
check_paths = settings.GetString("StartupFileList")
print ("Check paths:", check_paths)
removeRhinoScriptStartupPath("Y:\\00 Digital Group\\Deploy\\Web_Player\\Commands\\_Hidden\\WakeUp3XN.rvb")
and here is what is printing - seems to be working:
('Raw paths:', '<list><value>Y:\\00 Digital Group\\Deploy\\Web_Player\\Commands\\_Hidden\\WakeUp3XN.rvb</value><value>Y:\\00 Digital Group\\Deploy\\Web_Player\\Commands\\_Hidden\\FindSameNameGh.rvb</value></list>')
('Extracted paths:', ['Y:\\00 Digital Group\\Deploy\\Web_Player\\Commands\\_Hidden\\WakeUp3XN.rvb', 'Y:\\00 Digital Group\\Deploy\\Web_Player\\Commands\\_Hidden\\FindSameNameGh.rvb'])
('Checking item:', 'Y:\\00 Digital Group\\Deploy\\Web_Player\\Commands\\_Hidden\\WakeUp3XN.rvb')
('Found match. Removing:', 'Y:\\00 Digital Group\\Deploy\\Web_Player\\Commands\\_Hidden\\WakeUp3XN.rvb')
('Updated paths:', '<list><value>Y:\\00 Digital Group\\Deploy\\Web_Player\\Commands\\_Hidden\\FindSameNameGh.rvb</value></list>')
('Check paths:', '<list><value>Y:\\00 Digital Group\\Deploy\\Web_Player\\Commands\\_Hidden\\FindSameNameGh.rvb</value></list>')
maybe a bug ?
if you go to Rhino Options
→ Advanced
→ RhinoScript.StartUpFileList
there is a pop up dialog that allows changes to the list as well.
but also those changes are not saved …
This is not a bug - RhinoScript simply doesn’t support modifying it’s startup list in this way.
This works in Rhino 7.
import Rhino
__RHINOSCRIPT__ = "1c7a3523-9a8f-4cec-a8e0-310f580536a7"
def DeleteStartupScripts():
rhinoScript = Rhino.RhinoApp.GetPlugInObject(__RHINOSCRIPT__)
if rhinoScript:
startupList = rhinoScript.StartupScriptList()
if startupList:
for script in startupList:
rhinoScript.DeleteStartupScript(script)
if __name__=="__main__":
DeleteStartupScripts()
For anyone else’s reference here is my updated code:
def deleteRhinoScriptStartupScript(path):
'''Removes a script from the RhinoScript startup script list.'''
deletedPath = False
try:
if path:
path = path.lower()
# Get the RhinoScript plugin object
rhinoScript_Id = Rhino.PlugIns.PlugIn.IdFromName("RhinoScript")
rhinoScript = Rhino.RhinoApp.GetPlugInObject(rhinoScript_Id)
# Remove the script if it exists in the startup list
if rhinoScript:
startupList = rhinoScript.StartupScriptList()
if startupList:
for script in startupList:
if script.lower() == path:
rhinoScript.DeleteStartupScript(script)
deletedPath = True
except Exception as e:
try:
print("Error in deleteRhinoScriptStartupScript: " + str(e))
except Exception:
print("Error in deleteRhinoScriptStartupScript: An unknown error occurred.")
return deletedPath
