What scene was just imported?

[Mark Dietel]

Hey guys,

I'm trying to catch some data about scenes that are imported.

Something like:

def import_callback():
    print "SOMETHING WAS IMPORTED. I WISH I KNEW WHAT IT WAS"
   
cmds.scriptJob( event=("SceneImported", import_callback) )

 It feels like a scriptJob callback is the way to go but I don't think it can capture the name/path of the file being imported.  Anyone have any insight or an alternate approach to calling some python on every import (and getting the name/path of the file imported)?

Thanks in advance.

Hey Mark! Happy early birthday...

Maybe you could hook into the "before import check"?

import maya.OpenMaya as om

def catchFileImport(ret, fileObj, *args):
    print "Importing:", fileObj.resolvedFullName()
    om.MScriptUtil.setBool(ret, True)

mid = om.MSceneMessage.addCheckFileCallback(om.MSceneMessage.kBeforeImportCheck, catchFileImport)
