Layer Editor With PyQT

[Kurian O.S]

Hey Guys,

Anyone got any luck to embed maya layer editor inside a pyqt dialog ?. i was able to embed some of the other ui items like panel's outliner etc.. but layer editor I never got any idea. Anyone have any hints ?

Thanks

After abit of searching, it seems that Maya creates the layer editor by sourcing "layerEditor.mel" in the script directory, and the script can only create single instance of layerEditor called "DisplayLayerUITabLayout" (repeated sourcing  layerEditor.mel will fail). Thus if we use this unique name and convert it to qt widget, we can then embed it into our own widget. I've pasted the snippets here:

after that don't forget to source layerEditor.mel again to recreate the default layerEditor widget below channelBox...

This works, but the issue is once if you source the layerEditor.mel then we won't get any update on the wrapped one :(

All LayerEditor.Mel updates take place after Maya is restarted.

I was actually looking for a solution similar to outliner like I can have multiple instance in same maya session.

Yeah too bad that after moving it to our custom UI the layer editor doesn't even work anymore. Seems that it's not designed to work that way. The worst case is you need to look at layerEditor.mel and replicate the functionality...
