pymel.core.system.saveFile() not in Maya 2011 pymel distro?

[hapgilmore]

PyMel v1.0.0 docs document a saveFile() function, but it's not in Maya
2011's pymel. Is this a known issue, or am I missing something?

Interestingly enough:

pm.mel.file(save=True,force=True)

doesn't work...

In the meantime:

pm.mel.eval('file -save -force')

will have to suffice?

Isn't it just:

pm.file(s=1, f=1)

I dont think you use the mel namespace for cmds in the core namespace.

There is no file() function in pymel. All of the mel 'file' commands
have been replaced with commands like saveFile() openFile()
importFile() etc.

Read the docs for pymel.core.language.Mel. I have to use it all the
time when a mel command is broken or not implemented in the core
namespace. I don't like to use it, as it handles errors differently
and returns strings instead of pynodes.

Even worse is mel.eval() which I use as a last resort to bypass python/
pymel completely because something is really broken...like in this
case.

It's correct that saveFile was mistakenly not in the version released in 2011; this has been fixed, and it is present in 2012.

However, there's still no need to go back to mel.eval - you can always just use cmds.file(save=1, force=1).

I'll look at why pm.mel.file(save=True,force=True) isn't working...
