Hi Everyone,
I'm new to working with the API so please bear with me!
I'm trying to catch 'Error: Unable to load the image file, '/path/to/
Image.jpg' and remedy it before the scene loads.
I have successfully done this for broken reference paths, now I'm
trying to do it for broken image paths.
At the moment I'm using a callBack
def fixImagePath( retCode ):
#def fixImagePath(fileObject):
#def fixImagePath(clientData):
print 'oepnSpecial: ', retCode
imagePlanes = OpenMaya.MItDependencyNodes( OpenMaya.MFn.kImagePlane )
while not imagePlanes.isDone():
print 'openSpecial: looped'
nodeFn = OpenMaya.MFnDependencyNode( imagePlanes.thisNode() )
plug = nodeFn.findPlug('imageName')
imageName = plug.asString()
imageName = imageName.replace( 'badPath', 'goodPath' )
plug.setString( imageName )
print 'openSpecial: ', imageName
imagePlanes.next()
id =
OpenMaya.MSceneMessage.addCallback(OpenMaya.MSceneMessage.kAfterOpen,
fixImagePath)
shot = mc.fileDialog(m=0)
if len(shot) > 0:
OpenMaya.MFileIO.open(shot, None, True)
OpenMaya.MMessage.removeCallback(id)
This kind of works.. though maya still prints the errors.. so there
was no advantage to using the API, i may as well have written the code
with the maya.cmds
I would have thought the kBeforeOpenCheck would do it, but
unfortunately the imagePath gets reset to the bad path when the scene
loads up.
Thoughts?
