I need a script to jump to a folder

jakobrh

A few of the pose pack that I have are in the folder 'Genesis 8' (no 'Female' og 'Male'). I want to split these pose packs to their gendered folders. And add a 'Jump to corresponding female/male folder' script

Is that possible?

crosswind

The reason why they go to Genesis 8 is that they're "group poses" for the interaction of at least 2 people (F/M). The only standard function that can make a "jump to corresponding folder" is to use Custom Action, i.e. you create Custom Actions on the folders (right-click on the folder > Create a Custom Action...) to Favorites or Scripts menu ~~

Oh?  okay, thanks!  (Just noticed you post!)

I must say that I can't really accept this as the final answer.

If any one has ever bought aniblocks. Then the file you double click in the Content Library is a script like this

"App.getInterface().getPaneMgr().findPane("aniMate").addBlock(getScriptFileName());" Which loads a file with an idetical name

Therefore there must be something like ".findPane("Content").GoToFolder( )"

crosswind

Of course you can write a script to do these things, e.g.:

var oPaneMgr = MainWindow.getPaneMgr();
var oPane = oPaneMgr.findPane("DzContentLibraryPane");
oPane.browseToNativeFolder("X:/DAZ3D Library/PosePreset");

But writing a fixed string of path/folder into a Script is not a good way. Besides, Create Custom Action just does the very same thing and you can easily Edit the action in F3 and assign a shortcut as needed for fast access, yada yada ~ Why do you have to write a Script ?

T here is no must - it depends on what is exposed to scripting. However, http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/scripting/api_reference/samples/specific_ui/set_content_library_container/start

That is, by the way, terrible code as it just strings everything together without any erro checking - I am occasionally guilty of that when writing a mini-scriptlet for throw-away use (and occasionaly suffer as a result) but it certainly shouldn't be taken as an exemplar.

Therefore there must be something like ".findPane("Content").GoToFolder( )"

Thanks that was exactly what my following research led me to.

Yes. Agree. But as long as it's only on my computer it will do the trick

please follow the license terms.

Me? What terms? and where?

Crosswind, as noted on the page for the script.

crosswind

Well, actually I didn't get the code from the sample page... but just in F3 > Actions List

Then I didn't have to quote the licence terms ....

That isn't the script DS creates (DS calls an encrypted script from the application folder, passing the target folder as a paramater, so it may well use similar code but that isn't visible to us), the only public place that the pane name has been documented is in the sample script.

crosswind

Well, I do know about that: dzCustomActionShowContentLibraryContainer.dse is used from the scripts folder but that's not a user's problem. If Daz 3D, Inc does care about the copyright, they should've also added copyright / license terms to all the visible Script containers that show their script code in DS.

That is rather besides the point - the available script in Daz Studio is not the one from your screenshot and does not show the pane name, so presumably the scriptlet you showed got the pane name from elsewhere.

I dbl-checked again, it was not the standard one. The script I posted was created by Visual Menu product. The script from standard action is like the one attached.

Richard Haseltine

And the Visual Menu script in its turn is derived from the sample, so still subject to the same terms.

crosswind

Okay, fair enough ~

How would a customer know that Visual Menu scripts were derived from sample scripts? I don't see that acknowledged in the user guide or readme. How did you determine that?

A good question ~~
