Thanks! Have updated my little script with my best of knowledge based off the tips above and further thoughts, code is here:
http://pastebin.com/ZEDnCQWM And it does its thing, saves a versioned file into my offline edit directory and such, with format options but for the time being I’ve named it as such: C:\Users\aevar\[…]\scenes\backups in here\Maya to Unity live anim curve link v042.mb Now, to keep track of what is what and what I was doing at the time I added a promptDialog that writes out my notes into maya.cmds.fileInfo and scenes I open have my notes embedded into it. Fair enough but my issue at hand is I’m not a fan of popups and wish to simply type in my comment into the command window in the left bottom corner below the time slider. Basically just capture the text from there if the field starts with a + symbol. I know I can find this by querying the main window and dig for it from there, but my problem is I don’t know what the field itself is called :) Anyone have any ideas on how to do that? Comments and thoughts on the actual script of course welcome as well, the only notable thing that didn’t work as well as I’d hoped was the fact the save process is near instant on a small scene and it retains the current scene name, so I added a headsUpmessage to indicate a backup actually took place but am still getting to grips with how to handle the new style message windows in Maya 2014 (the ones that pop up the first time I open it and press 3,4,5 and so forth), they look a lot “cleaner” than the default headsUpMessage and appear to support multiple lines…. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group.
