System

April 13, 2026 · View on GitHub

The System section lives in src/mpfb/ui/system/. Its root panel is MPFB_PT_System_Panel, which appears as "System and resources" under the Developer category in Blender's sidebar. Like other root panels in MPFB, it acts as a container and draws its own content directly rather than delegating everything to child panels.

The purpose of this section is to give developers and advanced users quick access to diagnostic information, project web resources, and the file-system directories that MPFB uses for configuration, assets, and logs. None of the panels in this section require a character to be present — they are always visible regardless of what is selected in the scene.

Root panel

MPFB_PT_System_Panel ("System and resources") draws a collapsible "System information" box directly. This box displays three read-only labels:

  • Build info — the BUILD_INFO string baked into the addon at build time (identifies the installed version)
  • Blender version — bpy.app.version as a tuple
  • Python version — sys.version_info major/minor/micro as a list

There is no poll strategy; the panel is visible whenever the Developer tab is open.

Sub-sections

Sub-section directoryPanel labelDescription
webresources/"Web resources"Buttons that open project-related URLs in the default web browser
dirresources/"Directories"Buttons that open important MPFB file-system directories in the OS file manager

Both child panels are collapsed by default (DEFAULT_CLOSED) and have no poll strategy.
