I'm creating the default.xsiproject file directly out of Python, then setting the project via Application.ActiveProject. I tried using Application.CreateProject2(), but that does not refresh the Project List with data written into the xsiproject files.
I am setting up the xsiproject file via script because it allows you to rename your project as it appears in the Project Manager. This is useful if you are working in a multi app pipeline, where under a shot directory it splits into multiple subdirectories named for each app. The problem with Soft in this context is you end up getting a list of Projects all named "xsi" which isn't very helpful. :-) Hacking the xsiproject file does what it's supposed to, so the project list shows "<sequence>_<shot>" even though the project directory is named "xsi". It's just it only updates after restarting Soft. -B On Thu, Oct 11, 2012 at 4:45 PM, Matt Lind <[email protected]> wrote: > UpdatePlugins() only rescans plugins in workgroups, as does > Application.RescanWorkgroups(), so I wouldn’t expect those to work.**** > > ** ** > > Are you creating your projects via Application.CreateProject2()?
