TextureWriter(Stride.Textures) success pin

vvvv gamma feature

Is there a chance to add a success/finished output pin to that node?

here is the thing: the TextureWriter does not have such an output because in vvvv gamma < 6.6 it was working synchronously/blocking, ie you’d be certain that the writer finished within the frame.

in 6.6, due to this report we changed the behavior to being asynchronous and forgot to add the output. now thinking about such an output gave us quite some headache (for some internal technical reasons) that we decided to rather revert this change.

so in vvvv gamma > 6.6 behavior will be back to < 6.6 and you wont need such an output.

thanks for looking into it. why not have 2 versions of the node (blocking and non blocking)? i would argue that sometimes you would want to sacrifice certainty about the file beeing finished writing in favour of non blocking behaviour.

yes, a new non-blocking version of that node could be interesting. but to clarify, when i wrote “asynchronous” above i failed to note that this one was still blocking. it was only asynchronous in a way that it was not on update.
