If I have two projects going on at the same time… Smith and Jones… I think the Extra Info option is what I’m supposed to be using to filter the Jobs list to only show either Smith or Jones?
Is there a way within the RPM options to apply ‘Smith’ or ‘Jones’ to every pass that’s submitted so I can easily switch between projects in D6? (Doing it for each job in D6 would be a pain but from RPM it would be easier).
Thanks!
Hey Mike,
The ExtraInfo properties currently aren’t exposed to the submission interface, so you would have to modify the maxscript files to code this behavior in.
Maybe you could use the Comment field in the submitter to specify this info?
Cheers,
Would be good if SMTD supported the extraInfo fields in a future release? 
(+ configurable via defaults/sticky INI files as well)
Thanks, I will try the Comments field for now.
Looking at the code, they are already in SMTDSettings.ExtraInfo0 … 9, just not exposed in the UI.
Should be trivial to expose.
Right now, you can start SMTD, enter in MAXScript Listener
SMTDSettings.ExtraInfo0 = "Something, Something, Dark Side"and submit the job…
The user-defined ExtraInfo is currently not sent if Shotgun is being used since it populates the first 6 records. I will modify SMTD to write the remaining 4 info keys even when Shotgun is used.
Oops! Should have checked the code before writing my comment!
I think it makes sense to expose the settings to the UI?
I just did that for 6.1, just have to add the stickiness support (EDIT: Done).
Will see if I can patch the 6.0 scripts after that without breaking anything…
