setting the default File type?

Deadline
1

When submitting through the Deadline monitor, Deadline always defaults to the .FLX file format. Is there a way to change what this default is?

thanks!

Hi,
Could you clarify what exact version of Deadline your running and which monitor submission script you are referring to?

Hi Mike,
The latest build of Deadline 7, i think… and the Modo Submission through Deadline monitor. It defaults to .FLX file, we’d like it to default to Layered 16bit EXR.

Open this python file on your repository using a good text editor: “…/[REPO_PATH]/scripts/Submission/ModoSubmission.py”
and look for a line that looks like this (around line: #241):

settings = ("DepartmentBox","CategoryBox","PoolBox",......

change it so at the very end, you just need to add the “FormatBox” with a comma before it:

settings = ("DepartmentBox","CategoryBox","PoolBox",......, "FormatBox")

Save the file, open the ModoSubmission, select the Format you want. Close the dialog and next time you open it…
