Maya screenshot Overwrite #MEL Error

jayantbhatt007

Hi, Again thank you so much for your help. Here is the rough output which I have been trying to figure out from the last 4-5 hours. I modified other Artist script. So, Any mistakes forgive me. Your command is working fine but I have 2 more doubts. (*) If I run the command twice it is replacing the old snapshot which I don't want. Whenever I run the "capture" button It should save the new screenshot. ( Because sometimes My model is complex so I have to take multiple screenshots from different angles.

{   string $sn = `file -q -sn`;

string $cfp = `dirname( $sn )`;

if (`window -exists ScreenCapture`) //closes window if already open

  deleteUI ScreenCapture;

  

window -title "ScreenCapture" ScreenCapture; //creates window

            rowColumnLayout -numberOfColumns 4 -columnAttach 1 "left" 0

            -columnWidth 1 40 -columnWidth 50 500;

text -label "Path";

textField -w 200 -h 10 -tx $cfp -ed true filepath;

            button -w 60 -h 28 -label "Capture" -command "Capture";

// show the window we last created

showWindow;;

  }

  

  

  

  

global proc Capture() 

{

string $path = `textField -q -tx filepath`;

string $k =  ($path + "/snapshot");

string $ff = ".png";

string $node[] = `ls -sl`;

{

setAttr "defaultRenderGlobals.imageFormat" 8;

playblast -st 1 -et 1 -v 0 -fmt "image" -qlt 100 -p 100 -w 2000 -h 2000 -f $k;

}

clear $node;

}

playblast with -f when used in scripting automatically overwrites any existing files.

You could use getFileList (use a wildcard of the filename like "filename*") to get an array of files and then sort said array, then get the last value of the array and use match on it using an expression like [0-9]+ if the filename is something like test129.png, you'll get back 129 and you can just increment that number and use it as a suffix for the new filename.
