Configuration file per Project and per Software.

[Dimitri Marquette]

Hi,

I wanted to know if it was possible to configure/enable an option only if project and software conditions are met.

Example:

I want to enable a post script that is called "my_post_script.cfg" only when project is "MyProject" and software is "Nuke".

Do you know if it's possible?

Best regards,

Dimitri

Hi

 

Project settings:

Please submit something of that project.

Once the rrSubmitter is open, open Menu Defaults/Edit via UI.

 

If you want to create an override per project, then please edit the project settings.

On the right enable the filter and enter a part of your post-script name.

Check override and enable it.

 

 

Then about Nuke:

The settings in the rrSubmitter states a config line like

PPmy_post_script=1~1

Copy that one.

 

Create a file  render_apps\_config\C13__Nuke____global__inhouse.inc

Add the line.

 

 

About 1~1:

The first 1 allows the user to change the setting in rrSubmitter/rrControl.

The second 1 enables  the setting.

Hi Holger,

Thanks for the reply and feedback. I understand the concept of cfg files order and override but I was not explicit enough with my request.

For this project, I will use Nuke and also Houdini.

I want the postscript to be enabled only when the project is  MyProject and tehe software is Nuke. If the software is Houdini then I don't want to it to be enabled. If it's not possible to do so yet, I will filter the projects / softwares within the python post script.

Best regards,

Dimitri

Hi

 

Ok, a bit more complex:

 

Enable it for the project.

Allow it to be changed.  (PPmy_post_script=1~1)

 

And then create a file 3D06__Houdini____global__inhouse.inc

and tell RR that the setting is disabled and not allowed to be changed for Houdini

PPmy_post_script=0~0

 

For archive renderings (.ifd, .ass), create the file A00__Archive_global__inhouse.inc

 

 

 

If it gets way more complex than this, then the only solution is an on-submission-script for the rrSubmitter.

There you can access all job settings.

Hi,

I think this method would suit my needs! Perfect!
