Easiest way to query full path for a file texture? (ie, file.fileTextureName)

[Paul Molodowitch]

Ie, if file.fileTextureName contains a relative path, how do I get the full path that maya will resolve that to?

If it's using udims, I think you can use computedFileTextureNamePattern instead... but if not, the best solution I can come up with is to:

1) query cmds.workspace(q=1, rootDirectory=1)

2) append cmds.workspace(fileRuleEntry="sourceImages")

3) append your relative file.fileTextureName

For some reason, I thought there was a single command that would do this (or something similar).  Am I misremembering? Alternatively, does anyone know if the fileRuleEntry is always "sourceImages"? Does it every check "just" the workspace rootDirectory? If so, which takes precedence?

Thanks!
