f_prj is a simple script that allow an easy projects management in a "many projects environment"
It can be a remedy for the time consuming folder browsing with Maya classic "set project" option.
This script automatically create a "project shelf" and place "project buttons" with it's text name and a random colour.
How to use:
1) extract the 3 files (1 script and 2 icons).
2) place the script in the maya script folder (C:\Users\...\Documents\maya2011-x64\scripts)
3) place the two icons in maya icons folder (C:\Users\...\Documents\maya2011-x64\prefs\icons)
4) run maya and call the mel funcion "f_prj"
5) automatically a "project shelf" will be created and the f_prj script button appear on the left of it
6) click the f_prj button, write your project name (short name should be better) and browse for the project location
7) when you click on "save" a project button appear on the project shelf, if you don't like the random colour, open the shelf editor to change it
History:
1.0 - first release
1.1 - fixed a bug cause the script to assign the same button colours list everytime maya is opened
- changed the annotation label structure in the project button
- fixed icons size
1.2 - automatically set project after shelf button creation
Tested on maya 2011 2012 for windows, don't know about mac and linux.
