I'm trying to write a custom contactsheet assembly, anyone any idea why he doesn't like my files?
If I drag and drop the same file it opens well!

  ok actually got it working. BUT, It doesn't assemble as contact sheet, it loads everything as sequence.
  Anyone any idea how to load every frame as unique frame so I can make a grid out of it??
  Also strange that a certain frame seems to always appear as corrupted, is that an rv bug? when I load it regular it works. but as cmdline load it says frame 6 doesn't exist.
  
  here the working version of the code:
  
  

  fileList = set()
  images = [str(srcPath + '/' + x) for x in os.listdir(iteratePath) if not x.endswith('db')]
  for img in images:
  fileList.add(img)

  subprocess.Popen('%s/rv.exe -layout grid'%rvPath + ' '.join(fileList), shell=False)

  ok nevermind, it works with using A, B, C as sequence.
  
  still though if someone could point me out how to automatically assemble a grid contactsheet would be great!

  cheers

  Hi Bastian,

  You can also add "-view defaultLayout" to your command. That will bring RV up with the grid you assembled. Will that work for you?

  Thanks,
  Jon
