Silent Export without showing options AND without showing File Dialog

jerickson_jel

I have been playing around with the publicly available "Export Selected Object" script. 

http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/scripting/api_reference/samples/file_io/export_obj_silent/start

I use this script in order to export an obj that I later load into blender. 

I need to do this for about 3 to 4 things and really just want to hit the button in DAZ that will eport it as my !!ToBlender filename without asking me via a filedialog.  I know its super lazy to not hit enter and then YES but I figured this has to be possible.  What do I need to change in the FileDialog part in order to get my obj with the settings below to just WriteFile without the file dialog?

 

I have pasted my current script below.

Thanks so much

Comment out the whole file dialogue section and then in the immeditely preceeding section change

.arg( oExportMgr.getExportPath() ).arg( oNode.name ) 

to

.arg( "MYPath" ).arg( "!!ToBlender" )

though if you are going to export multiple items you will need to add an index to that.

The master answers again!  I appreciate the quick reply however I am not quite able to get this to work.  When I comment out the file dialog it seems to be part of an entire statement.  It all ends on the line with a ; at the end.

Exactly which line do I comment out? Can you show me a bit more of the edited script so I know what to do.  I tried a couple things with your instructions and keep getting compile errors.

 

Thanks

Sorry, I misread the script - you need to set sPath (using the code to set sInitialPath above, or just hard-coding your desired path of course) to the fiel you want to save.

No worries at all.  I understand what you meant now.  I have adjusted the script above and it works.

Thanks again so much.  You are so very helpful.

Not sure why my code snippet is not formatting but there it is either way.

Richard Haseltine

You're welcome.

The code displays oddly after you post, the page doesn't seem to load in quite the same way - other things, such as post count, also behave oddly until the page is refreshed. The code looks OK now.
