dragging and dropping the MEL file creates an error

Deprecated XMesh Maya Beta Bug Reports

and no loader. (maya 2012)
The command in the script editor echo and the error:

file -i "D:/xMEshes/Toyota/highlander/v0001/pPlane2_.MEL"; // Error: line 1: Unrecognized file. //

Am i supposed to do something different?

I’m not sure about drag and drop, but the XMesh “LOAD” shelf button should work.

Yes, you are supposed to drag the MEL file into the MEL Script Editor, then press ENTER.
Come on, this is not Max :smiling_imp:

Also, we found out that depending on the way the file extension was registered with the Windows system, sometimes .mel would not work but .MEL would, or vice-versa. In other words, the casing of the extension might affect the drag&drop…

LOL i definitely got caught out there, Bobo! :stuck_out_tongue:

So i won’t be able to mass-load the xmeshes through DnD, but only through scripting? (It’s ok, just a procedural question)

Some form of scripting would be required one way or another. If you have 100 XMesh sequences, dragging and dropping 100 MEL files would be tedious. An XMesh Manager like the prototype we wrote for Max would be something we could do in the future, but for now feel free to implement your own.
