Custom Project Settings

Hello All,
I am trying to develop a script that will allow me and my studio to change projects quickly and easily. However the catch is that with each project, the image file directory changes. So I can’t just change the project directory. We don’t use Maya’s custom file directory system because of our pipeline. After looking through all of the MEL and Python documentation, I’ve only found a MEL function that will allow you to change the project directory. I want to change the IMAGES directory directly. I really don’t need to change the project directory settings. As you can see with the attached image, our pipeline is to type in the absolute path for the images directory. I want to simplify this process by making a script. So I guess my question is, how do I change the Images directory for a project, using MEL/Python script? I’m able to code everything else. It would surprise me if Autodesk left out a function of that sort in Maya 2011. Any and all help is much appreciated.

Thanks,
Stephen

Take a look at the workspace command in the docs. If you open or create a workspace, pass it a custom images path with:
