I’m struggling to work without this excellent tool - especially when dealing with proxies.

Since 2012’s been out for a couple of months now, anyone know if it’ll be released?

I’ll put a bug in Steven’s ear about this…

It works, but fails to render icons or import anything making the props section useless.

For some reason, in 2012, the script is failing to generate slashes (Windows uses backslashes but I think Maya uses forward slashes???).

Anyway, instead of importing like this:

\\Servername\Directory1\folder2\etc\modelBank\filename.mb

It’s trying to do this:

ServernameDirectory1folderetcmodelBank\filename.mb

Steve’s code is too advanced for myself to figure out where it is going wrong. I haven’t heard from him either! :(

Fixed with this mel, just have to run it all the time :)

optionVar -sv LT_importPrefix props; optionVar -sv LT_userImportPath “//server/etcc//modelBank/”; optionVar -intValue LT_RebuildUI 1; LT_UI;

Hello
I’ve fixed the problem with the user selected path. It’s just a lign to change in one file:

file : LT_optionVars.mel

lign 628 :

optionVar -sv LT_userImportPath ($path[0] "/");

change to =>

optionVar -sv LT_userImportPath (fromNativePath ($path[0] "/"));

It’s in “ global proc LT_setUserImportPathName ()” function

The problem is that the path given with the fileBrowserDialog is in the OS style, and not in maya style. For exemple, in windows the path is

D:\BrainCandy\Fray\Resources\Environment\Aros

and in maya

D:/BrainCandy/Fray/Resources/Environment/Aros

The “ fromNativePath “ function set the path in maya style.

I hope this will be helpull.
