ShotgunDropper for Hiero!

Requirements

Start Hiero from Shotgun with a running engine
Hiero v11+ supported. Versions below 11 can not connect to Shotgun due to TLS incompatibility: https://support.shotgunsoftware.com/hc/en-us/articles/360009371913

Installation Instructions:

Step 1. Edit app_locations.yml

Since Shotgun updated their config2 yaml file layouts tank cannot install apps completely by itself (this may be fixed in the future, lets hope so!). So we'll do it manually for now!

Navigate to the folowing location and open this file:

<project_config>/env/includes/app_locations.yml

Then add the following app to this config (adjust the version tag to the latest available on Github):

apps.rtm-tk-hiero-shotgunDropper.location:
  type: git
  path: https://github.com/RicardoMusch/rtm-tk-hiero-shotgunDropper.git
  version: v0.1

Step 2. Edit tk-nuke.yml

Edit tk-nuke which is apparently also used for Hiero settings. Find the Nuke Project config, it looks like this:

settings.tk-nuke.hiero.project:
  apps:

Add the following lines to the above app configuration:

settings.rtm-tk-hiero-shotgunDropper:
  location: "@apps.rtm-tk-hiero-shotgunDropper.location"

Updates

Updating the app.

Check Github for the latest release tag. Then edit the app_locations.yml file version tag. Then run the following tank command:
