Class Description

Interface to Asset Tracking System.

This interface gives access to the Asset Tracking System. This includes control over the Asset Tracking dialog, support dialogs, and version control system integration. It also provides access to the Asset Repathing UI functionality and file dependency information. The version control system related methods (such as checkin, checkout, etc.) incorporate the common dialogs used for all providers. For lower level access to providers use the IATSProvider interface.

Sets the path component of selected assets to the value passed in to this function.

Note: If the Resolve files and folders to UNC paths option is turned on then this function will automatically convert mapped-drive paths to their UNC equivalent.

Precondition
1+ assets should be selected in the ATS (see SelectFiles above)
Parameters

virtual bool RetargetCommonRoot ( const MCHAR aNewPath,
bool  aCreateOutputFolder = false 
)
pure virtual

Retargets the common-root portion of all assets listed in the ATS.

Will retarget the common-root of all assets to the value passed in. For example, if all assets belong to C:\ but are found in different sub-directories of C:\, then only the C:\ will be repathed.

Note: If the Resolve files and folders to UNC paths option is turned on then this function will automatically convert mapped-drive paths to their UNC equivalent.

Precondition
That all editable assets have some common-root portion
Parameters
[in]aNewPathThe path portion that will be prepended in the place of the common-root.

Converts the current selection set to absolute paths.

Converts the current selection set paths to absolute paths. If the asset is Found (meaning that it is found in the search path), then the absolute path will point to the found location. If not, then the relative path is converted to an absolute path relative to the current Project Folder setting.

Precondition
That one or more assets be selected in the ATS - one of the assets must be a relative path
Postcondition
One or more assets is resolved to an absolute path.

)
pure virtual

Generically remaps assets declared by a ReferenceTarget.

Generically remaps assets declared by ReferenceTarget whose path value is equal to aOldPath (case-insensitive comparison), to the value aNewPath passed-in. This method calls the EnumAuxFiles implementation of ReferenceTarget to get a listing of assets.

[in]aOldPathUsed to determine which asset to retarget. Any asset declared with this path will be retargeted to aNewPath.
[in]aNewPathThe retarget value.
[in]aCreateOutputFolderIf repathing an output directory, and the path being repathed to does not exist, create path folder(s).
Returns
true if the action succeeds and the asset(s) are repathed, false is returned if no asset is repathed
