Hi Shotgun
I'm looking for the Python or MEL code to launch the Snapshot GUI?
To encourage my Lighting TD team to use the Shotgun Tank Snapshot function in Maya (2014) I would like to create a Snapshot shelf button and Hotkey.
Yes they can open it through the Shotgun pulldown menu but they are instead opting to hit "Save" :(
Cheers

Hi John,
You can do this with the following Python code:
import maya.cmds as cmds
try:
import sgtk
# get the current engine (e.g. tk-maya)
current_engine = sgtk.platform.current_engine()
if not current_engine:
cmds.error("Shotgun integration is not available!")
# find the current instance of the snapshot app:
snapshot_app = current_engine.apps.get("tk-multi-snapshot")
if not snapshot_app:
cmds.error("The Shotgun Snapshot app is not available!")
# call the public method on the app to show the snapshot dialog:
snapshot_app.show_snapshot_dlg()
except Exception, e:
cmds.error("Failed to launch Shotgun snapshot! - %s" % e)
Does that help?
Thanks
Alan
That worked great for me. Would be great to also get the code for a publish, load and file manager. Tried putting them together but didn't manage to figure it out.
