Multiple optionMenu lists working with one directory problem

[Anastasia Korol]

Hi guys! I am doing simple UI for choosing textures for two nodes in the shader and I can't make the optionMenu command to work one by one with the same source for the both optionMenu1 and optionMenu2. I have one directory to choose and need two similar lists where user can choose the texture file and apply it on two different nodes. So far I am interested only in understanding how to make both of the optionMenus work with one folder button:

import maya.cmds as cmds

from os import listdir

class AK_TextureLink(object):

    def __init__(self):

        self.window = 'ShaderWindow'

        self.title = 'Layered Shader Window'

        self.size = (600, 250)

        self.createWindow()

        

    def createWindow(self):

        if cmds.window(self.window, exists = True):

            cmds.deleteUI(self.window, window = True)

            

        self.window = cmds.window(self.window, title = self.title, widthHeight = self.size)

        

        

        self.mainForm = cmds.formLayout(numberOfDivisions = 100);

        

        self.titleDisplay = cmds.text(label = self.title, align="center", font = 'boldLabelFont')

        cmds.formLayout(self.mainForm, edit = True, attachForm=( [self.titleDisplay, 'top', 5],

                                                                 [self.titleDisplay, 'left', 5],

                                                                 [self.titleDisplay, 'right', 5] ))

                                                                 

                                                                 

        

        self.titleSeparator = cmds.separator();

        cmds.formLayout(self.mainForm, edit=True, attachControl = [self.titleSeparator, 'top', 10, self.titleDisplay],

                                                  attachForm = ([self.titleSeparator, 'left', 5],

                                                                [self.titleSeparator, 'right', 5] ))

        #creating the button for folder choice                                                        

        self.btnFolderSet1 = cmds.button(label='Set Texture Folder', height=30, width=150, command=self.SetFolderBtnCmd1)

        cmds.formLayout(self.mainForm, edit=True, attachControl = [self.btnFolderSet1, 'top', 30, self.titleDisplay],

                                                  attachForm = [self.btnFolderSet1, 'left', 5])

                                                  

                                                          

        #the first list which i want to work with folder choice button

        self.firstTextureList = cmds.optionMenu('optionMenu1',label="First File List")

        cmds.formLayout(self.mainForm, edit=True, attachControl = [self.firstTextureList, 'top', 30, self.btnFolderSet1],

                                                  attachForm = [self.firstTextureList, 'left', 5])

                                                  

        

        #the second list which is working with folder button                                          

        self.secondTextureList = cmds.optionMenu('optionMenu2',label="Second File List")

        cmds.formLayout(self.mainForm, edit=True, attachControl = ([self.secondTextureList, 'top', 30, self.btnFolderSet1],

                                                                   [self.secondTextureList, 'left', 20, self.firstTextureList]))

                                                                   

                                                                         

        

        self.btnApplyShader = cmds.button(label='Apply Shader', height=30, width=150, command=self.applyShaderBtnCmd)

        cmds.formLayout(self.mainForm, edit=True, attachControl = [self.btnApplyShader, 'top', 20, self.firstTextureList],

                                                  attachForm = [self.btnApplyShader, 'left', 5])

                                                  

        cmds.showWindow()                                          

        

    def SetFolderBtnCmd1(self, *args):

        print 'button pressed' 

        basicFilter = "Image Files (*.jpg *.jpeg *.tga *.png *.tiff *.bmp *.psd)"

        self.myDir = cmds.fileDialog2 (fileFilter=basicFilter, dialogStyle=2, fm=3)

        myFiles = listdir(self.myDir[0])

        

        for items in myFiles:

            fileEndings = ('.psd','.PSD','.jpg','JPG','.jpeg','.JPEG','.tga','.TGA','.png','.PNG','.tiff','.TIFF','.bmp','.BMP')

            if items.endswith(fileEndings):

                cmds.menuItem(items)

            else:

                cmds.warning(items + 'This is not a valid image type, you fool.')

                

        print myFiles

        

    def applyShaderBtnCmd(self, *args):

        print 'shader button pressed'

       

myTextureRelink = AK_TextureLink()

Thank you!

The button should only be able to attach to a single layout, because the layout takes ownership of its position. You should try creating a second instance of the button for the second layout.
