Re: [Maya-Python] Clean and Move Script

Crest Christopher Mon, 28 Sep 2015 20:25:56 -0700

Before running the tool, all my paths were correct and did exist, imagefiles, everything was working. After running the tool, the file nodesare pointing to the old directory, but the tool re-directed as I toldit, to another directory. All the paths were, what is shown in the filenodes, relative, what exactly does has gone wrong it appears as though,metaphorically speaking, the files within the file nodes are turnedinside out; and the scene file nodes can't find the texture, yet thetextures still exist in their old location. I was hoping the scriptwould move all the textures to the new directory then update the paths;without any problems.

    Sorry I don't understand, it takes the paths as they are from the
    file nodes, but it can't correctly move the files and update the
    file paths ?

I'm just saying that the only bit I checked out, in the source code,looked to be that is reads the value of the path from the file nodeand then sees if it exists. That's why I asked if it was a relative orabsolute path value in the file nodes.

    I don't. I haven't tested it. I've only glanced over it from a
    phone and saw that it takes paths, as is, from the file nodes.

        Justin; do you so happen to know what is wrong with the script ?

            Yes, they are absolute paths.

            One thing I didn't mention; the tools Job is to change
            the file paths; from what I can tell, it changed the file
            path but the texture files themselves continue to point
            to the old path; basically it rearranged things, without
            rearranging things.

                No I mean the texture paths in the nodes in Maya. Are
                they absolute paths? Because I can see how the tool
                just grabs the value and asks if they exist as is.

                    Do you mean before I click move in the tool, does
                    it show absolute paths ? If so, the answer is no;
                    only relative.

It would be nice if the script printed the name
of the path it failed to handle, as opposed to
the file node name. Are the paths in those nodes
just basic absolute paths?

First I Analyse Scene File Textures, in my
case I have 58 textures that point to a
folder, what I don't understand first about
the script is; when I toggle on the 58
textures to be selected there are listings
which you can check on, once again, in my
case it says;

0 of them exist
58 of them NOT exist(s) I know they exist
because they are still in the folder and on
my desktop ?

Moving along, I click the toggle option for
the 58 textures, I then select a target
directory, then click move files. This is
the result;

File Texture Manager Log starts...

Could be bad path logic or something. Or
maybe you are pointing it at a link or

Hi, hopefully someone can help. I
download this tool

<http://www.creativecrash.com/maya/script/filetexturemanager>,
it's Job is to analyse the scene for
all the textures then move them to a
desired folder, followed by updating
the texture paths. Instead of that
occurring, I get an error in the
script editor that the move cannot
be done because of a permission
issue or path existence issue, the
path to which I want the textures to
be moved too have full write and
read access and the folder does exist ?

It's suppose to automate the process
of moving textures, it's not doing a
good Job at that, I know it's
roughly a 5-10 year old script.
