The tooltip popup for out file pattern, disappears too quickly, can that stay up for a longer duration ?

You can also move the OK button to the opposite side of where the close button is ;-)

::perm $P_exrmaketiledexe = "path\to\exrmaketiled.exe"; //replace dummy path with correct path

Can the script be executed, if and only if I have an EXR file selected

and only by right clicking on an empty part of the selected window pane in XY, instead of selecting the EXR file and going to the script in the Custom Toolbar menu ?

A output file pattern is helpful, except if I enter in a relative path, and that path doesn't exist can it prompt to make that folder ?

The script works well, makes it more efficient then loading the command prompt, moving the file to the location where the EXR tools exist, entering the command .... etc etc etc.

btw, now you can either rewrite the exepath into the script file OR BETTER, save it as a permanent variable $P_exrmaketiledexe. Paste this into the adressbar of XY:

Code: Select all

::perm $P_exrmaketiledexe = "path\to\exrmaketiled.exe"; //replace dummy path with correct path

enable Tools > Configuration > Refresh, Icons, History > Scripting > Remember permanent variables. This way you won't have to edit the script file every time I make a change and post it anew.

I think the openexr program takes care of creating target folders, but I don't know. Can you try?

C:\5\tiledimages\*_tiled.?

I tried a relative path as well hoping it would create a folder on my desktop called "tiledimages" and placed the tiled exr file created by the script that exact folder, that didn't work either.
tiledimages\<filename>_tiled.exr

Remember the first time I posted this script and I asked you to open it in a text editor and add the path to exrmaketiled? You would have to do this every time I post a new version of this script.
But if you do that $P_exrmaketiledexe permanent variables stuff, then you won't have to edit the script manually anymore. Got it?

C:\5\tiledimages\*_tiled.?

it didn't work? Maybe the folder "C:\5\tiledimages\" did not exist. Anyways, try with this version of the script again please.

tiledimages\<filename>_tiled.exr

You said you use paths like this: tiledimages\<filename>_tiled.exr. This is not suggested as a relative path to anywhere, not even desktop. (but actually it creates a tiledimages folder in current path)

Firstly, begin relative paths with a ".\" like this (but there are other possibilities): .\tiledimages\*_tiled.exr. This will create a tiledimages folder in each input file's location, and output there.
.\ means the samw location of input file, ..\ means parent (of previous path component), so .\..\ mean parent folder of .\, or parent folder of input file's location.

Secondly, why did you think that would create folders in desktop? Use a pattern like this to output to desktop: Desktop\tiledimages\*.? -- this will create output files with the same name as input in a tiledimages folder on the desktop.
(and thirdly, I sincerely hope you didn't actually use "<filename>" literally)

You don't recommend I use the method posted in the first statement of my quote, you suggest I use the ./../ type path system when creating folders or sub-folders ?

You take me for an idiot Of course I didn't use <filename> literally, that was a placeholder, common

 %desktopreal%\*_tiled.?

[...]The sub-folder "tiledimages" was created within the main folder of 5. Except the EXR file I had selected, which I gave the _tiled suffix in the script wasn't created in the subfolder of "tiledimages" ? I'm wondering if maybe, the variable you told me to setup in XY didn't work ?

::perm $P_exrmaketiledexe = inputfile("%programfiles%", "exe", "choose exrmaketiled.exe");
