Checking what we can do with tv_ClipSaveStruture "JSON"

[Hironori Takagi]

Our studio decided to change the export rules, and we needed to check again what can be controlled by tv_ClipSaveStruture "JSON".
The rule I want to run is
・Simply name serial numbers (such as 0001.jpg) : for key animations
・Serial number with header name (such as _lo0001.jpg) : for layouts
・Do not create subfolders
If we devise an instance naming method, it is possible to execute it in the export panel, but our studio wants to be able to export with one button using tv_ClipSaveStruture "JSON". I would like to know if the two features not in the documentation are operable or will be operable in the future.
・"Write JSON file" option
・"Create folder for layers" option

We always appreciate the support of TVPaint team.
Thank you.

Hello Takagi-san,

These are indeed not possible to do at the moment.
I have talked to the developers, and this will be added in an update planned for August.

Update on this.

We noticed that the "Create folder for layers" option was in fact present.
The syntax is:

Code: Select all

createfolderforlayers [1|"on"|"true"]

The "Write JSON file" option is not there and will be added in the update planned for August.
We will update the documentation as soon as we can to reflect this.

Sorry for the late confirmation.
I would like to confirm in my script that I am currently developing that there is already an option for createfolderforlayers. Thank you for considering the option to require/not require a JSON file as well. Solving the concurrent dpi read/write problem would go a long way towards achieving what our studio wants to do in one move.
