It depends on exactly what you want to do. Chad has posted previously on
this topic, and I've recently overridden the Open/Save dialogs at our
studio. Chad if you're ever up in Vancouver and see a Snoop Dogg freestyle
button... sorry, but I couldn't come up with anything funnier!
I modified FileMenu.mel
*menuItem -label (uiRes("m_FileMenu.kOpenScene"))
-annotation (uiRes("m_FileMenu.kOpenSceneAnnot"))
-command ("CISOpenScene") openProject;
*
And added my own mel function at the bottom which opens a PyQt window
*global proc CISOpenScene(){
python("import open");
python("open.main()");
}*
In my PyQt window I stole Chad's idea and have a freestyle button which
opens the original Maya dialog.
*pm.runtime.OpenScene()*
Also note, there are numerous ways to open these dialogs such as with
hotkeys and the status line which you'll need to override as well if you
want to bullet proof it. If you want to intercept the Open/Save dialogs,
you can do that within pv_performAction.mel. I'm not sure this was the
perfect way to do it, but it's been solid since I've released it.
Cheers,
Justin
