Hi,
I want to add custom filters for loaders. By default we have 3 filters ['Folders', 'PublishedFileType', 'RenderImages']. But now I want to add task filters. Like if an artist want to see only rig file in the loader instead of listing all files.
Thanks,
Vipul Rathod
Hi Vipul,
If you want to filter your PublishedFiles by the type of Task that generated then, you can certainly do this!. For your example, in the tk-multi-loader2 settings in your environment config, modify the entities section for Assets and add a publish_filters key which uses the standard Shotgun API filter syntax (see the Loader documentation for reference). So you could do something like this:
...
...
entities:
- caption: Assets
entity_type: Asset
filters:
- [project, is, '{context.project}']
publish_filters:
- [task.Task.step.Step.short_name, is, 'Rig']
hierarchy: [sg_asset_type, code]
...
...
This tells the loader to filter the publishes and only show the ones created by Tasks with the Pipeline Step "Rig". We use the short_name field here but you could just as easily use the code field which is the display name for the Pipeline Step.
Hope that helps!
Hi KP,
Thanks. This really works out for me.
