What file system are you using? You can directly use NTFS ADS(Alternate Data Streams) if you're on Windows. Basically you can write anything to your "c:/project/mayascene.mb:trololo", ":attr1", ":whatever" even with the shell commands, or your file manager. You can even keep Maya scene versions inside of a single file, tagging all other copies with attribute like "mayascene.mb:v001" -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group.
