[EMSUSD-1091] Non local edit target layer cannot be saved and restored #3637
Comments
As a team we have been discussing workflows around targeting non local layers. At the time we are looking mainly into using Edit Routing for workflows around targeting non local layers. But if you think we need to have a UX around this that is exposed more to the artist, we would love to hear your thoughts in a new discussion thread. Our hesitation at the time is around the complexity of doing these kinds of edits when the user is unaware of the consequences in a pipeline. Local layers themselves offer a lot of opportunities for artists to make mistakes, and when you expose even more avenues to editing the data in external files arbitrarily it creates some dangers. Most studios we've talked to so far are OK with edit routing as a solution, which is why that is currently how we are looking at it. But we would love to hear all sides. |
Hi @wallworm , there are mainly two user cases in our studio:
I realized that I was talking about two problems (1. saving and restoring non-local dirty layers, 2. saving and restoring non-local edit target layer), and this issue #3637 is mainly for the second problem. Let me know if that's clear! |
@csyshing Thanks for the details. We are actively exploring this. |
