mmListMelScripts.mel 1.0.3 for Maya (maya script)

• The script will generate a list of all mel-scripts in the pre-defined directories.
• It is possible to quickly filter the list of scripts, by using the integrated search-function. You can use * as a wildcard.
  
  
  
• To execute a script or a procedure, hit the blue "X"-button.
  The script will look into the textfield associated with the button and execute it's text.
  
  
• To source a script, hit the pink "S"-button.
  
  
• To edit the script in an external text editor, such as WordPad, hit the green "E"-button.

Right Click Options

• There are several ways of searching, displaying and executing the procedures of a script:
  Right-clicking on a script's texfield opens a popup-menu, which displays the script's filename and lists all it's global procs.
  
  
  
  Selecting one of the procedures from the list, will load it into the textfield. Bold letters indicate, that the content of the textfield has changed. Pressing the blue "X" button will execute the selected procedure.
  
  
  
  An arrow -> besides a procedure indicates, that it's most likely the script's main procedure which e.g. builds the UI or calls all the other procs. Selecting it will set the textfield back to the default font.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• 
  This option is activated by default. In case that a procedure has a return value or argument(s), those will be displayed in a sub-menu.
  
  
  
  In case calling the procedure requires some arguments , simply enter those in the textfield in between the brackets and then hit the blue "X" button.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• 
  
  
  Those two options are deactivated by default. They offer an alternative way of displaying a procedure's return value or argument(s), in a textfield's main right-click menu.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Right-clicking on one of the buttons on the left side opens a popup-menu, which displays the script's filename and some additional options.
  
  
  
  
• "eXecute", "Source" and "Edit" work exactly as the buttons
  
  

• "Duplicate file" will create a copy of the mel-file. Useful to create a backup of a script before modifying it. The copy of "myFile.mel" will be named "myFile_Copy1.mel".
  
  
  
  
• "Copy file to..." copies the mel-file into from it's current location to any of the other folder as defined in the preferences. If a file of the same name already exists in the destination directory, the copied file will be named "myFile_Copy1.mel".
• "Open folder" opens the folder in which the file is located in the file manager.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• "Add to shelf... -> proc from textField;"
  Creates a shelf button calling the procedure from the textfield e.g. myProc();
  
• "Add to shelf... -> source script;"
  Creates a shelf button which will source the script e.g. source "C:myScriptsmyScript.mel";
• "Add to shelf... -> source script;proc from textField; "
  Creates a shelf button which will source the script and then call the procedure from the textField
  e.g. source "C:myScriptsmyScript.mel"; myProc( );
• "Add to shelf... ->entire script from file "

  Clears the input (the lower area) of the script editor first and then loads the code from the mel-file for convenient editing.
