@gandalf3 I say we make to be just for object groups. There are tags for node, and vertex type of groups.
 
Idk if we even need a tag just for groups
especially as it seems to get misused a lot
 
possibly, but it seems like a specific enough topic to have a tag.
@gandalf3 that is easily corected
 
true
@David Perhaps too specific?
I wonder how many of the questions with actually should be tagged with it..
 
@gandalf3 going to just object groups enough to have a tag
about half ish would be re tagged
 
hm
That's not too bad
Though perhaps we could make the scope a bit larger
e.g. include parenting
idk
 
12:11 AM
I count 15 that are about object groups
what would the "new" tag name be?
 
hm
idk
I was thinking something like , but that actually seems kinda dumb now that I think about it.. :P
 
@gandalf3 well I was not going to be the one to say so, but yeh I think so too.
 
lol
 
so we will go with just object groups
 
okay
 
12:19 AM
consider it done, then watch the edits :)
 
Want any help?
 
sure, you start at the bottom, and I'll start at the top
 
okay :)
@David I was about to edit that one :p
The edit popup literally appeared as I clicked "edit tags" :P
 
@gandalf3 that is what happens when we are working on the same list :)
 
lol
 
12:30 AM
but I do now have some new questions
 
what?
 
What about them?
 
those 2 are nearly the same, do you think they could be combined.
 
hm..
I always thought of being a bit broader, including linked objects/materials etc.
but perhaps they need to be defined more clearly
 
12:33 AM
@gandalf3 good point.
which brings up another tag issue
 
so many!
 
hold on, I have to find it in the synonyms list
ok, how is this, un link from and delete . Most of the questions are marked as closed.
However there are questions that could use
 
Fine by me, we should probably ask @iKlsR though
I originally proposed , but we (@iKlsR and I) decided to synonimize it with
Because builds was sort of filling the same scope, but the name probably wasn't the most obvious choice
 
another synonyms that I think we should change is . Shading can be very different from shaders.
@gandalf3 true, but nearly all build questions get CV now, so your versios tag could be restored.
 
@David Yes and no. I think I voted to merge those, because pretty much every question with one also had the other
They aren't the same, but IMO there so related that it isn't really worth it to have both
At least atm
 
12:42 AM
nearly, but there are some. Not a big deal. at least now it can stay.
what do you think about
not much there, posabily merged with , as
 
hmm
maybe we should just add a color tag and see how it does, then synonymize if it seems to be working?
I just tried to suggest > , but it says the reverse was already proposed..
 
I did think of that, there could be a LOT of miss use.
 
exactly
On the other hand, maybe that's a sign that the scope needs to be changed
After all, it's really the users who define the tags
 
true, if everybody is doing something different, maybe we are the ones in the wrong.
 
But I don't see anything proposed on
@David Yep :) On the other other hand, if every one is doing something different from everyone else, then that's also bad
 
12:49 AM
@gandalf3 odd, me ether.
 
wait, maybe I'm not reading this correctly
It's a bit confusing
 
I cant because I still do not have enough rep in that tag
 
Reverse synonym already .. preferences... umm ..
wat
I don't comprehend..
is a synonym of , but what's reverse about it?
 
the odd thing is I do not see a purposed synonym any where
 
Unless it was proposed on
which was then later synonymized with
And now has broken everything
 
12:53 AM
that might explain it.
 
@iKlsR help?
You'd think would have inherited any synonyms on though..
 
are you pointing customization to user preferences, or the other way around?
 
I was trying to go the other way
 
makes more sence that way
 
as seems a bit larger in scope
yep
I think
@David Which way were you saying makes more sense? The chat goes so fast sometimes..
 
12:56 AM
that is what I would do, only if I had the rep.
@gandalf3 t user-preferences > customization
 
Ah, yes okay
Huh
Maybe I'll ask on meta
 
by any chance do you know anything about the chat bots?
 
Which ones?
Scales? Proog? Sintel?
 
hold on, let me find the link
is that a thing just for admins, or what?
 
@David We have one but I lost the password for the account.
 
1:01 AM
@iKlsR can you enlighten me about the chat bot?
 
ha
 
@iKlsR lol :)
 
I forked the repo and added some custom stuff
can't comment on anything at the moment, super busy
bbl
 
ok, later

Q: Why can't I propose a tag synonym on [customization]?

gandalf3I tried to suggest the synonym user-preferences → customization, but received this confusing error: I don't see any synonym proposals on user-preferences.. Was a synonym proposed on preferences, which was then synonymized with user-preferences? What is going on here?

 
 
1 hour later…
2:23 AM
@Proog what are you doing here? You are supposed to be in a different room.

  Sintel and Proog

Record of all posts
 
@David I believe he was moved here because he wasn't too irritating and his room kept on being deleted. You'll have to ask @DantheMan for details....

Q: Let's get critical: Aug 2014 Site Self-Evaluation

CommunityWe all love Blender Stack Exchange, but there is a whole world of people out there who need answers to their questions and don't even know that this site exists. When they arrive from Google, what will their first impression be? Let's try to look at this site through the eyes of someone who's nev...

 
3:44 AM
I just discovered that I'm not on the week rep rank at all! ....
????

Did anyone else notice how many of the Site Self-Evaluation questions @gandalf3 answered? Good going gandalf.
 
 
2 hours later…
 
1 hour later…
8:24 PM
@iKlsR Should that be a comment?
@GiantCowFilms @David He's both here and in sintel and proog
I guess since there aren't as many meta questions
@iKlsR Your too fast for me :P
I was about to CV that, but it was closed before I could..
 
8:42 PM
@gandalf3 I added back Proog since meta posts are slow enough not to annoy anyone.
@gandalf3 should what?
 
The answer you deleted
On the pixelated question
 
Yep
total brain fart on my part
I was watching something when typing
 
@iKlsR ok, now I know
 
@gandalf3 Ton?
 
8:51 PM
:O
 
@iKlsR that is what I was thinking!
 
@iKlsR yes
:O
 
eheh. I was surprised as well. He does drop by every now and then.
 
is that really him, as in the ton?
 
I think so
 
8:52 PM
@David Yep. I invited tons of people from irc when the site launched.
Our questions look good this review. Most were excellent.
 
this would sure make it look like it is blender's Ton
 
Yep
 
@gandalf3 hey, my name is right below Ton's :)
 
:D
 
@iKlsR Yes I think the site has improved since the last evaluation.
Can anyone here explain why my edit count here is at 472, but when hovering over the Badge Progress on any of the review pages I only have 250 edits on the Copy Editor?
 
9:10 PM
huh
It's different for me too
 
apparently the badge only counts certain edits.
 
It probably doesn't count edits on your own posts..
But I would think that at least half my edits are on my posts
hm
 
true, but I'm sure I have not edited 222 of my own posts
my guess was tag only edits are not counted.
 
I think it only counts answer edits.
 
No answer edits?

Shame I will never get any of the question badges.. T_T
 
@iKlsR I'm half way for that one
 
@iKlsR yes, it can be. on other sites like SO I would say Famous Question is easer
 
I should be getting 2 more soon.
 
golds?
 
9:20 PM
I have about 90% of the moderation badges.
yep
 
@iKlsR Is there a easy way to check, or do I have to read the whole list?
 
@someonewithpc blender.stackexchange.com/help/badges the ones you have are ticked. SHould be easy enough.
 
@iKlsR 56% for me
 
@gandalf3 Will be the first to get Legendary
He was on a rep cap spree at one time.
 
I am happy about my Research Assistant badge.
 
9:22 PM
I'm not even close to epic yet
 
Nice, I need about 6 to get that
Hopefully I can get Sheriff when the time comes.
I am halfway for steward as well.
 
Is there a central page for viewing badge progress?
Or do you just have to look at the different meters scatter all over?
 
Someone made a data.se script I think. Lemme check
 
@gandalf3 that is what I do
 
See this

Q: Badge progress reports

SwDevMan81Is there a way to view your own progress towards certain badges? For example: Tumbleweed - What value constitutes low views for a week? Fanatic – Is there a way to view how many days in a row you currently have? Beta – Is it even possible to get this badge anymore?

Q: More badge progress indicators

Some Helpful CommenterI just noticed the Copy Editor badge progress indicator on stackoverflow.com/review/, Can we have this for more badges please? In particular the badges where it's not clear to the user how they're doing. Announcer Archaeologist Booster Generalist Pundit Sportsmanship Taxonomist Tenacious...

Nice
 
lol
First to get great answer will probably be satishgoda

A: Can Blender render pngs with the background transparent?

satishgodaYes this is possible. To save rendered images with transparent background (PNG format for instance), the settings are as follows for "Cycles" and "Blender Render" rendering engines.

@gandalf3 I'm close behind but with the views, yeah.
 
9:50 PM
