Custom Operators

Custom operators are useful when the built-in presets are not enough and you want Super IO to call a specific Blender operator.

Operator ID

Most Blender buttons can reveal their Python operator:

1. Hover an operator button in Blender.
2. Right-click and copy the Python command.
3. Paste it into Super IO's custom operator field.
4. Remove arguments and parentheses if needed, leaving the operator ID.

For example, a copied command like bpy.ops.wm.obj_import() becomes wm.obj_import.

Execution Context

Super IO can call an operator in different execution modes:

• EXEC_DEFAULT runs the operator directly and is best for repeatable presets.
• INVOKE_DEFAULT lets Blender show the operator's normal popup when the operator supports it.

When importing a file, Super IO passes the file path to the operator through the file argument supported by that operator, usually filepath or files.

Properties

Custom configs can define extra operator properties. Use them for small, stable options such as booleans, strings, numbers, or Blender import/export flags.
