pymel.core.system.fileBrowserDialog¶
- fileBrowserDialog(*args, **kwargs)¶
The fileBrowserDialog and fileDialog commands have now been deprecated. Both commands are still callable, but it is recommended that the fileDialog2 command be used instead. To maintain some backwards compatibility, both fileBrowserDialog and fileDialog will convert the flags/values passed to them into the appropriate flags/values that the fileDialog2 command uses and will call that command internally. It is not guaranteed that this compatibility will be able to be maintained in future versions so any new scripts that are written should use fileDialog2. See below for an example of how to change a script to use fileDialog2.
Flags:
Long Name / Short Name Argument Types Properties actionName / an unicode Script to be called when the file is validated. dialogStyle / ds int 0 for old style dialog1 for Windows 2000 style Explorer style2 for Explorer style with Shortcuttip at bottom fileCommand / fc script The script to run on command action fileType / ft unicode Set the type of file to filter. By default this can be any one of: mayaAscii, mayaBinary, mel, OBJ, directory, plug-in, audio, move, EPS, Illustrator, image. plug-ins may define their own types as well. filterList / fl unicode Specify file filters. Used with dialog style 1 and 2. Each string should be a description followed by a comma followed by a semi-colon separated list of file extensions with wildcard. includeName / includeName unicode Include the given string after the actionName in parentheses. If the name is too long, it will be shortened to fit on the dialog (for example, /usr/alias/commands/scripts/fileBrowser.mel might be shortened to /usr/...pts/fileBrowser.mel) mode / m int Defines the mode in which to run the file brower: 0 for read1 for write2 for write without paths (segmented files)4 for directories have meaning when used with the action+100 for returning short names operationMode / om unicode Enables the option dialog. Valid strings are: ImportReferenceSaveAsExportAllExportActive tipMessage / tm unicode Message to be displayed at the bottom of the style 2 dialog box. windowTitle / wt unicode Set the window title of a style 1 or 2 dialog box Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list. Derived from mel command maya.cmds.fileBrowserDialog
Example:
import pymel.core as pm # Old way: def importImage( fileName, fileType): pm.file( fileName, i=True ); return 1 pm.fileBrowserDialog( m=0, fc=importImage, ft='image', an='Import_Image', om='Import' ) # Recommended way: filename = pm.fileDialog2(fileMode=1, caption="Import Image") pm.file( filename[0], i=True );
