3dn-bip's Issues

Can't install 3DN BIP!!! Blender crash when try to install! Linux OS

I use addon Brush Manager (https://github.com/tingjoybits/Brush_Manager) I try to install 3DN BIP with Install Pillow button and it work in Window but when I try this button in Linux, my blender crash!
I attached blender console crash and blender crash file for more information! Thank you!

template_icon_view doesn't display icon names correctly when using bip.

When using bip to load previews, the labels in layout.template_icon_view(show_labels=True) display very incorrectly:

Here, the icons' names should just display their index:

for index, path in enumerate(img_paths):
    name = path.name
    icon = pcoll.load_safe(name, str(path), "IMAGE")
    _at_tree_previews.append((name, str(index), name, icon.icon_id, index))

where _at_tree_previews is the return value of the EnumProperty items callback

I also tried this on the example addon provided, and the same problem occurred.
To reproduce this, just set show_labels=True in the template_icon_view method in the example addon

I'm not 100% sure this is caused by bip, but I couldn't replicate it by using the normal bpy.utils.previews method. (Also, just as a side note, otherwise, this is amazing, and it solves a problem I've had for a while with the default blender previews :)

Any plan to support exr/hdr ?

I found it load exr/hdr a little faseter, but still slow

Add function to export render result to BIP (t3dn-bip)

Would like to know why its so blazing fast

Bumped into an addon using this type and was curious about it. I read the intro of the repo and was wonder why its so blazing fast. Why would it for example load jpg or png faster then blender vanilla does

Background scene

Would be pretty cool if this could be animated. Things could be a lot cleaner. Even being able to stack scenes up on top of each other would be super great if it actually helps with Blender memory issues. If it does this means user could have larger scenes without bumping into larger problems.
