Enhancement: Houdini shelves manager tools_list are not added to the given shelf path

[MustafaJafar]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues.

Please describe the feature you have in mind and explain what the current shortcomings are?

It's not a bug because it is the current default behavior of the shelves manager, it ignores tools_list if shelf path is given.

as @moonyuet mentioned here #5727 (review) and in the following discussion that it will be more intuitive to create a shelf with the given path and add these tools to it.

How would you imagine the implementation of the feature?

by specifying a file_path when crating a shelf.

OpenPype/openpype/hosts/houdini/api/shelves.py

Line 98 in ca1492c

def get_or_create_shelf_set(shelf_set_label):

Are there any labels you wish to add?

The shelves manager tool was designed based on giving users two options to add their shelves in Houdini.
The enhancement mentioned in this issue will increase the code complexity which make it harder to maintain,
In my opinion educating users about the proper usage of the tool is a better solution which should be done (at least) by giving hints in Houdini settings #5844
