Sure. I take it from that that it should work in Python? I'll keep
investigating then (and your help is appreciated!)
static MSyntax getSyntax()
{
MSyntax syntax;
syntax.addFlag(kOutFileFlagShort, kOutFileFlag, MSyntax::kString);
syntax.addFlag(kVerboseFlagShort, kVerboseFlag);
// ... More addFlag calls here
syntax.enableQuery(false);
syntax.enableEdit(false);
syntax.setObjectType(MSyntax::kStringObjects, 1);
return syntax;
}
I am registering my command with the getSyntax function:
plugin.registerCommand( MY_EXPORT_CMD, myExportCmd::creator, myExportCmd::
getSyntax);
Calls like this return true if I call the plugin from MEL, false if I call
it from Python:
flagSet = inputArgs->isFlagSet(kVerboseFlag, &status);
When I print out my args, I don't see the flags at all when I call using
regular Python syntax. I only see the objects (just 'pCube3' in this
example).
MArgList args2 = MArgList(args); // This line is interesting. If I call from
Python, I get nothing at all from the << operator unless I do this. Calling
from MEL, it works with or without this line.
MString argsStr;
std::ostringstream stream;
stream << args2;
std::string str = stream.str();
argsStr = MString(str.c_str());
MGlobal::displayInfo(argsStr);
