Maya Project Path and Output Path always local

Deadline
1

In the “Submit Job To Deadline” Window, the Project Path and Output Path are local paths even if I open the Maya project file from a network share.

It would be nice if Deadline could use the path of the opened Maya file when determining the default value of the Project and Output Path.

Is it possible to change this?

Hello!

Looking at the submitter code, we run in the .mel script pulls the path from the render globals of the Maya scene renderer. You would need to change the default renderer Path.

You would need to change the default Project Path under Preference following this Autodesk article: https://www.autodesk.com/support/technical/article/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Change-the-default-project-folder-location-in-Maya.html

Thanks… but…

So there is no way to make the submitter code automatically fill in the path depending on where the project file has been loaded from?
