George Commands for the Library?

[Gary]

Hi there, I was wondering if there might be any George commands that interact with Version 11's Library? We're planning to use the library for for model sheets and it'd be handy if there was a scripting way that we could mass update TVP files with the sheets as they get made.

Hello Gary,

The developper in charge of the library is not in the office currently, we will try to answer later.

Currently, there is no george command to manage the library.

I added it on our TODO list, but it's not an easy stuff, as there will be many functions to implement (add/remove/move/rename/...folder/image/import/...), think about what/how set their parameters, ...

[Gary]

Hi Fabrice and Mike,
If it helps you, I can explain our use case. We intend to have character's model sheets in the library for animators to refer to. We'd like a reliable way to make sure it's an up to date model sheet, and something automated through George would be ideal.

Thanks for the response!

Gary,

When would you need it exactly ?

[Paul Fierlinger]

BTW, we would benefit from this as well. It sounds something like a Dropbox where anybody could go to; if I understand this correctly.

[Gary]

Realistically, if we're going to use it we'd need it in the next 5 weeks. That gives us time to implement it before any production starts.

That might not be enough time for you especially since you said it involves multiple commands. But it's not a necessary function for us, we can run the production without it if that's not enough time.

[Fabrice]

On our side, we should release the 11.0.2 soon with many bugfix (some crash bugs should be fixed).

Just after, we have to update all our compilation software and also the dongle system (mostly to make sure we will stay compatible with Windows 10 and Mac OS 10.11 El Capitan).
Unfortunaltely, we have no idea how long this operation will require. It could be super fast or a long nightmare (like looking for new rounding problems since calculations might be done differently after the update)

If less than 5 weeks, we might develop some new George commands and be ready for your production, but I can not promise.

[Gary]

Ok, we understand Fabrice. Just keep us posted if you are able to add the commands, thanks!

Years later, I'm following up on this. It would be a useful thing to have for me as well.

The entire GEORGE scripting command set is now available on line << HERE >>

These are the commands that control access to, and functionality of, the Image Library... and are pretty comprehensive:
=======================================================================================================
tv_libraryimageadd "type" "folder" "name" iName "parent" iId
tv_libraryimageadd "type" "image" "name" iName "parent" iId "source" "file" "path" iPathFile
tv_libraryimageadd "type" "image" "name" iName "parent" iId "source" "currentlayerimage"|"display"|"custombrush"
tv_libraryimagelist "id" iId ["type" "folder"|"image"|"both"]
tv_libraryimageinfo "id" iId|iPath ["type" "id"|"type"|"name"]
tv_libraryimagemodify "id" iId ["type" iName]
tv_libraryimageremove "id" iId tv_libraryimagecopy "id" iId
tv_libraryimagepaste "parent" iId ["mode" "copy"|"cut"]

Search the documentation page using "tv_Library" to find more syntax details in the second half of the list.
