Got ya re Mac but if the icons could show even if it pulls the preview pic it would be very cool and helpful.
ANot sure what you mean?
Athe preview pic is where the thumbnail would come from - but getting it to display in a normal Finder window isn't easy.
AOne hacky solution that @AncientWorlds suggested. Always save the thumbnail as a separate file with the same name as the sketch
Athat would display a thumbnail as it's just a normal png
ZOh?
Ayeah - you'd end up with twice as many files in the sketches folder. One .tilt and one .png for every sketch.
ABut at least you can see the thumbnails that way
ZYeah not good then. Is it hard to create a keyboard inside the app to name the file?
Amedium hardness. but that's a separate feature. Ideally you'd have that AND thumbnails
ZCause I hate to admit this but I hardly rename them cause as it is it’s a PITA
ZBut the feature in app would make this easy
ZI think it’s because I would have to do this manually outside of the app in the browser after every sketch atm
Aso - renaming inside the app is better than thumbnails outside the app?
ZUltimately yes because if you could name it you’d know what it is but a pic preview would be awesome too for us visual peeps
ASo - I think you've requested three separate features. I'd like to list them just to be clear:
- the ability to see the picture of the sketch in the folder as an icon (in Finder)
- the ability to retake the shot for the sketch thumbnail.
- the ability to rename sketches inside the headset.
ZYes please that’s my wish list
Aand in order of priority: 3, 2, 1?
Z3,2,1
A
Ai might have a quick semi-fix for 1. Let me see if I can do that quickly
ZYou’re awesome
Ait would be useful for me tbh!
ZOne more request but this would be #4. The ability to pull the sketch from folders where we can organize our sketches. (Not a priority for most people) so for example, by year, month, category
ZI’ve got a huge collection of sketches and this would be really helpful for power users of the app.
ZRight now you have to go through all of the sketches to find the one you’re looking for. (Once we can name in app it’d be easier). Maybe a search bar to find a sketch?
ZIf I can’t find the sketch I have to look up the date I posted and search in the file browser for the date
A@Zandy try dropping this in your sketches folder and running it:
AI don't have my Mac here to test on but I think you can just run a python file on the Mac
ZOk give me a bit to fire her up
Ayou should hopefully end up with something like this:
ZYou want me to do this on the Mac?
Ait won't work on the quest itself. it should work on Mac or PC (but PC's will need Python installed)
ZOk
ZI need about 10 min brb
A@AncientWorlds 
might be useful for you as well
might be useful for you as wellZOk just connected the quest to the mac and gave it permissions to access files but it’s not showing in the finder
ZOk had to install android file transfer. Sorry for the delay
Ahold on.
Aerm
Acopy the sketch files to the Mac first. It won't work over that weird Android thing, I don't think
ZOk
ATired of using expensive, outdated, bug heavy, Android File Transfer apps for macOS? Try OpenMTP. It's Safe, Transparent, Open-Source and FREE for a lifetime!
A(Apple refuse to support MTP natively for some reason)
Aoh. no. that probably won't work
Ahmmmm
Zhang on let me try the android one
Acopying files to the mac definitely will
Acopy them across, run the script and then copy the pngs back again - or something like that. whatever suits your workflow
Awhat MacOS version are you on?
