Tk-multi-loader2 entity level actions

pw_simon · March 25, 2024, 1:54pm

Hello there!

I know I can add custom actions based on file types to tk-multi-loader 2.
But is there a way to add new actions to the base entity’s actions?

I dont think its part of the official featureset of the app but you can always fork the app and add this feature in.

Hi @pw_simon !

It actually is part of the feature set of the loader app. You can configure additional entity actions via this config key:

              default_value_tk-flame:
                  Flame Batch File: [load_setup]
                  Flame Quicktime: [load_clip]
                  Flame Render: [load_clip]
                  Photoshop Image: [load_clip]
                  Rendered Image: [load_clip]
                  Image: [load_clip]
                  Movie: [load_clip]
                  Texture: [load_clip]
          
          entity_mappings:
              type: dict
              description: Associates entity types with actions. The actions are all defined
                           inside the actions hook.
              default_value: {}
              default_value_tk-flame:
                  Shot: [load_batch, create_batch]
          
          entities:
              default_value:
                  - caption: Project

If you are familiar with handling sgtk configs it should be fairly easy to set up.

Hope that helps !

Cheers,
Fabian
