Hi,
We were wondering if it would be possible to submit auxiliary files with a job without having them stored within the Repository and instead have these files stored to specific locations on a per job basis. This would allow us to automate modifing said files much easier in the event that something needed to be changed on the fly (very similar to how scenes are handled with 3ds max submission). Does some kind of option for this already exist within deadline?
Thanks!

Hi Shem,
We have an option to store auxiliary files in another location in the Repository Options:
thinkboxsoftware.com/deadlin … iary_Files
However, it basically mimics the repository’s Job folder structure, so you don’t get the per-job customizations that you’re looking for. We’ll add a wishlist item to add a new job property that can be used to specify where the auxiliary files should go on a per-job basis.
Cheers,
Ryan
