Option ForceLibraryHistoryCheck naming
Option ForceLibraryHistoryCheck naming
I was watching youtube video : ProppFrexx Histories, Restrictions and Rules.
You explain that the option "ForceLibraryHistoryCheck" is directly related to Script Max. History.
I think that this name should be "ForceScriptHistoryCheck". The word "library" points out to Media library instead of "script history library".

Re: Option ForceLibraryHistoryCheck naming
I did not understand from the video that it affects media library too (which you suggest let history=0).

Re: Option ForceLibraryHistoryCheck naming
I think that it would be easier to have 3 options. One for each history. I had told you that in the past.
SuppressGlobalHistoryCheck
SuppressScriptHistoryCheck
SuppressLibraryHistoryCheck.
Default would be check all histories.
That way is easy for anyone to understand what each option does.

Re: Option ForceLibraryHistoryCheck naming
Yes, but now that we have these options, I must also ensure backward compatibility...

Re: Option ForceLibraryHistoryCheck naming
Both are affected: the script library history AND the media library history.
So the "ForceLibraryHistoryCheck" enables both, the media library history (if defined) as well as the script library history (if defined).
That's why I have chosen this name.
If I would have used the name "ForceScriptHistoryCheck" - it would not be clear, that also the media library history is affected

Re: Option ForceLibraryHistoryCheck naming
Yes, in case the media library history is set to 0 (as per default), there is NO media library history- that's why i didn't mention it explicitly in the video. Using a media library history is only useful in very very specific cases. So the rule of thumb is: don't use it unless you know that you need it and if you don't know why you might need it, you probably really don't need it
But if there would be a script library history AND a media library history defined, than the option 'ForceLibraryHistoryCheck' would apply to both.
