Task - Browse files/Preview

[igorChopenko]

Hello again Timur.
I've used afanasy on windows 10, and noticed that task\block options "Browse Files" always sends explorer window to %USERPROFILE%\Documents, so my question is how to fix or customize that option.
second question, i trying to use RVplayer as my preview app, i've added RV option to %CGRU_LOCATION%\config.json,
but it works only on task level, so i can open single file instead of whole sequence,
when i use preview option on block level i've got error message: No files matched "someCorrectPath/test.@####@.exr (0) "
Can u give me advice or point to right direction?

Hi.
To execute correct command to view files, your jobs (blocks, tasks) should have a valid files parameter.
It can be set on a job creation or files can be parsed in a Python parser class.
All block tasks sequence preview is not working now, i see.
It is a bug that should be fixed by developers ( files pattern should be replaced by a real filenames ).

Hi!
Browse files and "Folder" job's menu commands still not working on windows 10?
Can the user override these commands?

We found "Open folder" command in Keeper - Configure - Set Open Folder, but it does not affect anything.
I changed it from explorer "@PATH@" to explorer "C:\", but it still opening home folder.

Hi.
What is block/task "files" parameter?
Is it points to correct rendered files?
Can you send me task info? (you can get it from afwatch on a task double-click)

We still have problems with Browse files - it doesn't work.
I created test scene with local paths, rendered it on local machine: browse files opens the home folder.
Task's log:

I changed also

Code: Select all

"open_folder_cmd":"explorer \"@PATH@\""

to

Code: Select all

"open_folder_cmd":"explorer c:"

in CGRU Config to debug this command: it doesn't affect to Keeper's defualt Open folder command.

May be path slashes direction plays affects.
Try to check "files" with windows ("\") type slashes.

Ok, I changed both setFiles functions in af.py:

From

Code: Select all

self.data["files"].append(afile)

P:/projects/R1/

To:

Code: Select all

self.data["files"].append(afile.replace("/", "\\"))

P:\projects\R1\

And "Browse Files..." works fine now. But the solution is not right, right?
Where can I find a place in a source code, where "Browse Files" evaluates? "open_folder_cmd":"explorer c:" to debug this command did not affect anything, or it is another command?
