Re: [Maya-Python] changing path to references witha callback
MSceneMessage.addCheckFileCallback with kBeforeLoadReferenceCheck should
get you what you want.
You'll get a reference to the file object before the reference has been
loaded, and you should be able to tweak and update the file paths from
there.
I've used this in the past to fix issues where some machines were replacing
environment variables with the full path.

Re: [Maya-Python] changing path to references witha callback
I think better approach here would be make use of "dirmap" command, so you
could map Linux to Windows and vice versa..
Something like this:
dirmap("//server", "/server");
dirmap("/server", "//server");
Try running above command, and open file, all references and texture paths
should remapped automatically by Maya.

[Maya-Python] changing path to references witha callback
Hi We move maya scenes between linux and windows machines. When linux references a file it uses UNC paths like: /server/project/file.ext whereas windows needs double slash in front: //server/project/file.ext I have a MSceneMessage.kBeforeSave callback that fixes paths on texture nodes (ensures leading //). I remember having done similar thing with references too, but I lost the script and can't recall details... any hints how to change path to reference ? Here is my texture fixing code: def addFirstSlash(i_str): if i_str[0] == '/' and i_str[1] != '/': return '/' + i_str return i_str def mf_MSceneMessage_BeforeSave_CB(*args, **kwargs): for f in mc.ls(type='file'): mc.setAttr(f + '.ftn', addFirstSlash(mc.getAttr(f + '.ftn')), type= 'string') om.MSceneMessage.addCallback(om.MSceneMessage.kBeforeSave, mf_MSceneMessage_BeforeSave_CB) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group.
