Network timeouts or connectivity issues currently manifest in myriad fashions and during file/publish operations can raise non-user-facing errors and mangled pipeline operations. Rather than selectively creating defensive fallbacks in the arbitrary places where these issues happen in operations, the entire pipeline should create a more global ayon_api solution where we have connection retries with exponential fallbacks, and upon final failure raise a dialog explaining network or connectivity issues and instruct the user to try again in 5-10 minutes, or if this persists check their network connection, or if that does not work, to contact pipeline engineering.

During the project creation, it would be great to specify also access/permissions. The goal is to create project, that will be visible/accessible only to certain users or access groups. This could be achieved by adding "Access Group" section to the project creation dialog.

When you leave page open in the browser and you come back some time later - after your login session expired - you don’t have any indication that it expired. When you do some changes then, for example in Settings, you will lose all the changes because you’ll be redirected to login page and the changes won’t be saved obviously. There should be some periodic check as is on other services to see if you are online and can continue editing and if not, warning should be shown. And/or taking you back from the login screen to where you were with all the values set before the save button was pressed, but that seems like more complex solution.

Now you can’t get any custom attributes back in a anatomy. So let’s say i create a custom attribute “clientName” and the scope is only set on the project. And i want to get that client name so i can ingest it into a burn-in preset. I would expect that i could set it trough {project[attrib][clientName]} But only user[attrib] are available. I think it’s quite essential you can get any attribute back in a anatomy string.

Our producer here would find it very useful for the web interface to include a general activity feed showing changes made by users, e.g. new product versions, task assignment changes, status changes, new comments etc. A kind of high-level, user-friendly feed of the sorts of relevant changes but across all entities.

Now it defaults to .hip, but sometimes we have artists working in .hiplc when working on personal projects. I suggest we provide a default scene file extension option per project. Some projects will always be .hiplc, but now they always default to .hip first.

I think I can guarantee this happening by looping the timeline and on the second loop when it gets to the last (third in my case) clip, very briefly a rogue image appears - perhaps just for the duration of 1 frame - which appears to be a frame from later on in that clip - perhaps the last frame.

While updating an exr sequence loaded with Ayon beforehand, the duration of the sequence switch to 1 frame. It is as if the OpenExr Sequence is not toggled by the ayon manage code when it update the version

It sort of works for very first 2 times but then stops and does not bring any random colors anymore (or not distinguishable), would be nice to bring more variety and functional all the times when ctrl+clicked the track header…

There is rather minimalistic way to see more info about individual representations. This should be updated and/or enhanced - show more info about the represenation, like path. prouctType doesn’t make sense here anyway. As a next step, representations should be enhanced with representation traits data - these representations store metadata on the server about their content, from video codecs to scene scale. These can be later on used for search, etc. But for that, we’ll need more representations integrated this way, so that’s another stage.

Summary: I’d like to propose two enhancements to the comment/activity feed section in AYON’s web task view: Pin Comments — ability to pin one or more important comments to the top of the activity feed (e.g., briefing notes, important decisions, client feedback). Threaded Replies — ability to reply directly to a specific comment in a thread, keeping conversations organized and contextual rather than a flat list. Current Behavior: The activity feed currently shows comments in a flat chronological list. There’s no way to group related replies under a parent comment, or highlight critical comments for visibility. AYON does support Comment Categories for visibility control, but there’s no threading or pinning mechanism. Problem This Solves: In a busy production task with many comments from artists, TDs, supervisors, and clients, it becomes very hard to: Track which reply belongs to which discussion point Keep important notes (like a brief or approval status) visible without scrolling Proposed Solution: Add a “Pin” icon on comments (visible to users with sufficient permissions) that anchors the comment to the top of the feed Add a “Reply” button on each comment that nests responses under it in a collapsible thread, similar to Slack threads or Discord replies Use Case Example: A supervisor pins the shot brief at the top. Artists reply in threads to specific feedback comments. The feed stays clean and everyone knows what’s actionable. Who Benefits: Studios with large teams, review pipelines, and client-facing workflows — especially when combined with the existing Comment Categories feature. I’m happy to discuss further or provide mockups if helpful. Would love to know if this is on the roadmap!

Currently the only available variable to use is the anatomy root. Could this be expanded to take full advantage of all variables?

It would be great if the browser notification would be more specific, if the studio is working on multiple projects and assets, etc., the notifications are non-descriptive. Task name is present in the notification, but project name and the name of the parent folder would be useful additional information.

Hello, our VFX supe pointed out that they’re very used to typing text when annotating frames during reviews, but currently AYON doesn’t have a text tool. It’s different to typing in the comment, as it means being clearer about to which part of the image the text relates. And on a given frame multiple blocks of text might be required. They also mentioned being able to add arrow shapes to save drawing them.

In Blender, Ayon's Workfile Builder was replaced by the Templated Workfile Build, since this : https://github.com/ynput/ayon-blender/pull/239 This feature disappeared, but we still need it : the first time a Blender task is launched, we want the first (001) workfile to be created by automatically copying an existing template file. The new behavior is not automatic at DCC start, and when it is manually triggered it is an import (instead of a load or a file copy).

Lists are technically just a preselected set of entities and as such we should allow switching the slicer to a “list” and “Review Sessions” mode on any page. That would allow advanced filtering workflows, for instance filtering versions to only those that are related to an explicit list of shots what will appear in the trailer.

Since the update of the core where we have a “product type” and a “product base type” we can’t load effect anymore in nuke. I’m trying to figure out where the problem lies but not quite sure if we need to fix it in Hiero, Nuke or Core. If i go back to a older “core” version where “Product base type” isn’t introduced it works again.
