Description

System Information
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.19043-SP0 64 Bits
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 511.79

Blender Version
Broken: version: 3.1.0, branch: master, commit date: 2022-03-08 18:16, hash: rBc77597cd0e15
Worked: 3

Short description of error
When adding lights the Properties are not displayed when the "Bulb" is selected. I load the same file in Blender 3 and all is well :-) I have tried this with files created in Blender 3 and also freshly created files in 3.1 with the same result.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

  • Add a light source
  • In properties tab- Active tool and workspace settings → Workspace → Filter
  • With Light object selected, switch to Object data properties

Many Thanks :-)

I cannot reproduce this with either the latest stable or current development versions of Blender:

Please try the latest daily build: https://builder.blender.org/download/

Go to File → Defaults → Load Factory Settings and then load your file to see if you still can reproduce this issue.

If the problem persists, please give us more clear instructions on how to reproduce it from scratch.

Hi Pratik, Yes, it is still the same fault :-) and yes I have tested it with factory settings. It cured it until I tried to filter my workspace, then it was back. I have tried the latest 3.2 alpha...same results. The problem is connected to Workspace>Filter checkbox :-) When unchecked all is well, when workspace>filter checked - no light properties :-) The problem does not exist in Blender 3.0.1 so it is connected some change made to Blender since that version :-) I can send you screenshots or anything else you would like :-)

@William White (Munroman) This is expected as far as I can tell. Notice that Cycles is actually an add-on, so if you enable Workspace Filter and don't enable Cycles with Cycles selected as the render engine, the light settings will not appear.
So you either enable Cycles or use another render engine. Does that work?

Cycles,Evee.....makes no difference. Workspace>Filter checked - Light Properties dissapears, Workspace>Filter unchecked - Light Properties re-appears :-)

Omar Emara (OmarSquircleArt) added a comment.Mar 24 2022, 9:05 AM

But does enabling Cycles in the filter list make it work?

William White (Munroman) added a comment.Mar 24 2022, 9:37 AM

Cycles is always enabled being my render engine of choice. The only thing that makes it work is unchecking Workspace>Filter

Can't replicate then unfortunately.

Cannot reproduce either.

Do you get any errors in the console? https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/3.2/advanced/command_line/launch/windows.html

William White (Munroman) added a comment.Mar 24 2022, 2:49 PM

No errors in console :-) No Errors shown anywhere.....but when Workspace>Filter is checked no "Light Properties" :-)

What about material settings and render settings? Does this apply only to light settings?

William White (Munroman) added a comment.Mar 24 2022, 5:50 PM

Only Light Properties.....at least I haven't come across anything else missing.....so far :-)

I can't reproduce this issue as well.

@William White (Munroman) hi, can you upload userprefs.blend, startup.blend files?

(I expect them at- C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\3.1\config\)

Germano Cavalcante (mano-wii) changed the task status from Needs Triage to Needs Information from User.Apr 1 2022, 4:16 PM

Using Cycles as Render Engine I can reproduce the issue. Which makes sense because the entire UI of the addon Cycles is filtered.

Using Eevee as Render Engine I can't reproduce the issue. Which should be expected since e Eevee is not an addon.

Are you sure you set Eevee to Render Engine? As Eevee is used internally as the Viewport Shading Material Preview, this can be confusing at times.

Problem Solved?

Evee, Cycles makes no difference. I have various tabs setup with different addons filtered in/out and I just noticed in the last 5 minutes that some tabs are ok the light source settings are there while in other tabs they are not. So I now have the mind numbing task of finding what addon filtered in/out is causing the problem.

I have found that by enabling an addon in the filtered list called Photographer 4 my lighting settings are restored :-)
