[Solved] Workspace Name

[Hilarius86]

2.1

Hi,
is there a way to extract the "name" of a CompositorWorkspace or its defintion?
I use

Code: Select all

Ogre::CompositorManager* compMan = ...->getCompositorManager2();
Ogre::CompositorWorkspace* compWork = compMan->addWorkspace(..., ..., ..., "WorkspaceName", ...);

I am after this: "WorkspaceName".
This is used as mDefinition in compWork, but I can't find a method to extract the information from the workspace or the CompositorWorkspaceDefinition. Is there any reason not to provide this?

I want to create a new workspace from the current workspace definition to render to texture for a high res screenshot.

Hi,

there is no method of getting out the stored compositor name. Its internally used in a map. You have to store your compositor name as a member variable for identification.

This is an oversight.

The name of the workspace is stored in workspace->mDefinition->getName() but there is no way to access it.

Update: Fixed. Call workspace->getDefinition()->getName() (getNameStr() to get the human-readable version)

Wonderful, I would have provided a PR as well.
To remove a CompositorWorkspace from my manager I already had a member pointing to it. Just felt strange to also add "string lastestCompositorWorkspaceName" as a second member.
