Hi.

Claude and I found and fixed two bugs in VI-Suite 07 beta8 on Windows 11 with Blender 4.4. I would like to share the fixes with you.

---

Bug 1: Weather directory specified in Preferences is not reflected in the Weather dropdown of VI Location node.

Root Cause: The retentries() function in vi_node.py prioritizes self['entries'] cache, so the EPW files in the directory specified in Preferences are not loaded.

Fix (vi_node.py):

Replace the retentries() function with the following:

def retentries(self, context):
entries = []
try:
addonfolder = os.path.basename(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
vi_prefs = bpy.context.preferences.addons['{}'.format(addonfolder)].preferences
if vi_prefs and os.path.isdir(bpy.path.abspath(vi_prefs.epweath)):
epwpath = bpy.path.abspath(vi_prefs.epweath)
else:
epwpath = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)) + '/EPFiles/Weather/'
for wfile in glob.glob(epwpath + '/*.epw'):
if wfile.isascii():
with open(wfile, 'r') as wf:
for wfl in wf.readlines():
if wfl.split(',')[0].upper() == 'LOCATION':
entries.append((wfile, '{} - {}'.format(wfl.split(',')[3], wfl.split(',')[1]), 'Weather Location'))
break
except Exception as e:
print('retentries error:', e)
if not entries:
return [('None', 'None', 'None')]
self['entries'] = entries
return entries

Bug 2: FloVi NetGen node shows "No docker container running"
even though dicehub/openfoam:12 image is installed.

Root Cause:
The output format of "docker images" command has changed in newer versions
of Docker Desktop on Windows.
The old format was:
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID ...
dicehub/openfoam 12 d7bbd9e71057 ...

The new format is:
IMAGE ID
dicehub/openfoam:12 d7bbd9e71057 ...

So the condition "lds[0] == 'dicehub/openfoam' and lds[1] == '12'"
never becomes True.

Fix (vi_node.py):
Change:
if lds[0] == 'dicehub/openfoam' and lds[1] == '12':
ofoam = 1

To:
if 'dicehub/openfoam' in lds[0] and ('12' in lds[0] or lds[1] == '12'):
ofoam = 1

Environment: - OS: Windows 11 - Blender: 4.4 - VI-Suite: 07 beta8 - Docker Desktop: v4.65.0 - Docker image: dicehub/openfoam:12 I hope these fixes help improve VI-Suite. Thank you for your excellent work.
