MAC UI.show_model_info() w/ no args

[Dan Rathbun]

On the MAC, what does UI.show_model_info() w/ no args do ??

On PC.. it just returns true, and does nothing.

I would expect it to open Model Info and display the previously used page, when it was closed.

[tbd]

does nothing as well (SU 8.0.4810)

but UI.show_model_info("Credits") does only changes the selection and not the pane (you can see the Units pane that I have previously selected)

Has anyone logged a Bug Report on this issue ??

Holy Cow! Does this work on MAC ??

Sending the method an empty arg just displays the previously used info page (on PC.)
UI.show_model_info('')

[tbd]

yup, same previous model info pane on OSX as well

Need to know if this is a new v8 bug or not.

Any one with Mac SU 7.x, could you try:

UI.show_model_info

nothing on PC (v7.x and v8.0,); nothing on Mac (v8.0)

UI.show_model_info("")

last used panel on PC (v7.x and v8.0,) and on Mac (v8.0)

UI.model_info_pages
PC output >> ["Animation", "Components", "Credits", "Dimensions", "File", "Geo-location", "Rendering", "Statistics", "Text", "Units"]

UI.show_model_info("File")

displays File panel on PC (v7.x and v8.0) regardless of what panel was previously shown.
does not work on Mac (v8.0); only hilites the panel name in the selection box, and still displays the last panel that was used.
