View Full Version : Sub-Directories in the maya_script_path

I was just wondering if there was a flag or something that you can include in you Maya env file that would force Maya to search and load scripts in sub-directories of the maya_script_path.

let say my user script path is x:/maya/scripts Maya will source all the scripts in this path since it is in maya Env file. But if I want to put the scripts in this path into sub-directories maya will not source them. I am forced to add the explict path for each sub-directory I create to the Env file in order to get Maya to auto-source these scripts.

Any ideas

you can source your scripts with the sub-directories included in the source statement. for example:

source "PeltingTools/peltingTools_1_0.mel"

where PeltingTools is a subdirectory.

thanks, but I'm looking for an automatic way to include all the sub directories of my scripts folder without having to a add a new comment to the env everytime I add or change a folder in there.

I could write a .bat file that would run when Maya is executed that could query the sub-directories of the scripts folder and then print out a new env file everytime.

Kind of a round-a-bout way of doing it.

Just was hoping that there was an internal way of doing it.
