Explore Job Output

Deadline

Hello,

We are sending nuke jobs from linux and we’d like to check the output on windows. In the “Explore Job Output” context menu we find something like this:
\E\MyRender\pic.jpg

So we can not open it on windows.

Do you have any ideas how to solve this problem?

Thanks in advanced,
cupy

Hi Cupy,

The Path Mappings should be taken into account then exploring the output path from the Monitor:

Do you guys already have Path Mappings in place?

Hi rrussell ,

We set it only one-way:
E:\ --> \E\
so we needed to add:
\E\ --> E:\

Thanx for your help!!!

No problem! Glad to hear it’s working now.

Cheers,

Is it possible, to change the default program (Windows Explorer) to other custom program (Total Commander) to open the files folder from Explore Job Output?

ThanX,

We only support that for opening the files themselves (ie: through the Task right-click menu). Currently, the folders aren’t customizable like this. However, I’m sure it would be possible to write a job right-click script for the Monitor that opens the output folder with a specific program:

Hey RRussel and crew,

Trying to set up a simple script to have the Job Output folder open up in RV for easy review.

A newb to scripting and so far have the following which isn’t quite working. Any tips?

–Script–

import sys
import os
from Deadline.Jobs import *
from Deadline.Scripting import *

def main():
myVar = JobUtils.GetOutputFilename(0,1)
RV_Launch = ('cd C:\Program Files\Tweak\RV-3.12.14-64\bin&&rv ’ + myVar)

–end–

I assume we are getting two variables back from JobUtils.GetOutputFilename(0,1) the folder and the 2nd file within it and that’s causing RV to choke.

thanks in advance :slight_smile:

GetOutputFilename just returns a single value, and that’s the full file name with path. So I wouldn’t think that’s the problem. Can you post the error message you’re getting?

Hey Ryan,

Sorry for the delay. No error returned, but the imageviewer doesn’t open. The following are what appears in the log file.

nothing else. (thoughts?)

The issue must be with the actual launching of the application. Maybe you could zip up and post the full script?

Also, would it be an option to just add RV as a custom viewer to the Monitor?
