Header Buttons

This addon allows you to create custom buttons and buttons templates for Blender, they will be displayed in the header.

Quickly switch between shelves to ahve actions for different tasks at hand.

Addon Preferences Description

Create a new button

1. go to the user preferences of blender, navigate to the Interface section and enable "Developer Extras"

This will allow you to copy the operator from Blender's UI elements

2. Go to the Shelves addon preferences and use the + button on the right side to add a new button, by default this will add a button with a hearth icon and a operator to open the user preferences

3. Navigate to the Icon Viewer Addon and open the Icon Viewer, select the icon you want and copy the Icon String over to your Icon Field in the Shelves addon.

4. Give your Button a Name

5. Navigate to the action you want to bind to that button and copy the python command

Paste the python command in the operator field and remove the brackets at the end and the parts in the front (this might vary a bit from operator to operator)

6. save you rnew Shelve Note: if you add new buttons you will need to add a new shelv with the same name to overwrite and save the existing shelve

Shelves Save settings

Hello,
I'm here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmLnqyRxX3w
Look at this Addon and think it’s good
But save Preferences after setting, but this Shelves setting is not saved at the same time.
How do I save these settings?

can a save option be added to avoid the confusing override?

redraw ui on button changes

easy way to input operator

can things like modifiers, visibility and mesh operations be added?

Invalid syntax error on operator commands with parameters

Trying to set up one-click extrapolation types using these buttons but inserting a command with a parameter throws out a syntax error.

In the preset shelf itself, the code reads
item_sub_1.button_operator = 'graph.interpolation_type(type='BEZIER')'

Which results in the error
Failed to execute the preset: SyntaxError('invalid syntax', ('C:\\Users\\Username\\AppData\\Roaming\\Blender Foundation\\Blender\\3.0\\scripts\\presets\\shelves\\test.py', 16, 62, "item_sub_1.button_operator = 'graph.extrapolation_type(type='BEZIER')'\n"))

Using the code
item_sub_1.button_operator = 'graph.interpolation_type'
Wont cause any errors but that only brings up the interpolation type menu instead of setting it to Bezier automatically.

contribute to get this into the custom menus project if its not already working...
