2021-Mar-09
Fixes a bug related to accessing app settings when multiple instances are configured.
Details: When there is an environment with multiple instances of the publisher configured, and files are published to a context other than the bundle's current context, settings were not properly accessed and an unhandled exception was raised. This is resolved thanks to PR #99 submitted by a client!
2020-Nov-09
New pre-publish hook and minor UI style fixes.
Details:
- Adds a new hook
pre_publishto allow executing any custom logic or actions before showing the main publish dialog.
2020-Aug-07
Feature to allow items to be passed to the plugin custom UI methods.
Details:
- Adds a feature, that passes the selected plugin's parent items through to the
get_ui_settings(),set_ui_settings(), andcreate_settings_widget()methods of the plugin hooks. As a result these three methods can now be defined with an additionalitemsargument in your plugins, though for backwards compatibility reasons it also works without defining theitemsargument. This change now means custom plugin UIs can make use of knowing theitem.contextand other settings.
2020-May-29
Bug fixes and improvements to description inheritance and check states.
Details:
- Fixed a bug so that changing the check state of the items and tasks in the Publish UI now updates the underlying
PublishItemandPublishTaskinstance check state as well. - Bug fix and improvements around description inheritance. Descriptions set in the Publish UI are now inherited by child items no matter what level you set them at. Previously descriptions were only inherited when set in the summary, which was only available when there were more than one root item collected. On top of that, an item only inherits its description if it doesn't have a description set for itself. This means if you specifically set the description on a child item, and then change the parent item's description, the child item's description won't be overridden. There have also been some UI adjustments around this change to make it visually clearer about when an item is inheriting its description.
2020-Apr-21
Fixes issues with parent checkboxes
Details:
- When there are checked and unchecked children, the parent is now correctly set to PartiallyChecked
- When a parent item is partially checked, clicking on it selects all the children (this was not working before)
2020-Apr-15
Fixes a bug where the UI was being told to update when no UI was present.
2020-Mar-16
Adds Python 3 support and a bug fix.
Updated minimum required core to be 0.19.4
Details:
As well as adding Python 3 support, this release also fixes a bug in the Publish API where it would attempt to update the UI even if there was no UI present.
2019-Dec-06
Fixes a bug for the Tree.save method, where it wouldn't throw the correct error if an object in the tree was not serializable.
2019-Nov-13
Added a configuration option that can force users to assign a task to a publish.
Details:
If the task_required application setting is set to True, the publisher will validate that a task is selected for every item and will enable or disable the Validate and Publish buttons accordingly.
2019-Oct-28
Two bugfixes and new publish types.
Details:
- Clicking the
Copy To Clipboardaction in the publisher logs will now copy text selection to the clipboard. - Publishing an item under a parent item that uses a file url will now properly create a Published File Dependency entity in Shotgun.

2019-Sept-27

Adds support for uploading PDF files to Shotgun as reviewable Versions from the standalone publish app.
2019-Aug-09
Reverts the logging change in v2.3.5, and includes the small fix from v2.3.6.
Details:
This reverts the logging change in v2.3.5 for the time being due to an unintended side effect. This release is now the first release to include the small VRED-related change to one signal/slot setup in the app. Functionally, this release is the same as v2.3.4 and only contains some behind-the-scenes tweaks.
2019-Aug-08
Works around an issue with a signal/slot setup in VRED. There is no change in functionality with this release.
2019-Jul-19
Now all logging is written to file.
Details:
Publish logging is now written to the standard loggers, including log files and console, and not just to the internal publish log console window.
2019-May-6
Introduces the publish_fields and publish_kwargs properties on items.
Details:
The new publish_fields property on publish items can be used to set arbitrary fields, including custom fields on publishes. The publish_kwargs property on publish items can be used to set keyword arguments for the call to tank.util.register_publish used to publish the item.
You can read more about these new properties here.
2019-Mar-14
Improved the description in the documentation for the get_ui_settings method, to hopefully make the method's purpose clearer. There is no change in app behaviour with this release.
2019-Jan-16
Minor styling change for a button to fix an issue in Houdini 17.
Details:
Houdini's native stylesheet causes QToolButtons to be given a specific size that is too small in most situations. This change to the publish app sets a minimum size for an affected button so that it maintains a usable width in Houdini 17.
2018-Dec-13
Very minor documentation typo correction.
Details:
No functional changes to the app. The only fix is for a typo in the documentation for the base publish plugin.
2018-Nov-27
Fixes a serialization bug with templates and introduces the publish_user property on items.
Details:
The new publisher_user property on publish items can be used to override the user resolution logic from sgtk.util.register_publish. One use for this would be on a render farm to register a publish with the user who submitted the job and not the script user running the job.
You can read more about this new property here.
2018-Nov-5
Publisher log messages in the UI are now colorized.
Details:
Thanks to jhultgre for your contribution.
2018-Oct-29
Introduces the standalone publish API.
Details:
The standalone publish API allows you to do the same operations in a script that you can do with the Toolkit application. As such, you can entirely automate the publish process without any user interaction or use it on a render farm in order to automate the publication of rendered jobs.
To learn more about the api, you can visit this page.

2017-Jul-31
Checks for failed or zero-size thumbnails.
Details:
This keeps us from plowing ahead and asking the SG API to upload a non existent or zero-size jpg file, which would cause it to fail ungracefully. Instead, we log the result and continue on without a thumbnail if a problem occurs and one can't be properly written to disk.
2017-Jul-21
