   Hi Neil,

   Thank you very much for this very good script.

   I have some trouble using it on Mobu 2009: Only the first item seems to work. In other words, clicking on other items than Python Item Name 0 never calls the related script.

   Do you also have the pb on your side or is it a local pb?

   Thanks a lot

   Hi Werwack,

   I’ll try to find this plugin on my machine and make a test with script calls. Are you a programmer ?

   Sorry, what do you mean by «pb» ?

   I program, but I am not familiar with MoBu API. Setup of the menuman files is not a problem though, if that’s your question. I am used to develop user scripts (mainly in maxscript).

   Playing with the text files, I noticed menu item indices ([Python] section) are starting at 0 and script files ([ScriptFiles]) at 1. Could it be part of the strange behavior?

   Pb means ‘problem’, shortcut I use quite often

   I have tryed a plug, everything works properly. So I guess It’s your local pb (using your shortcut)

   I’ll try to explaine in more details

   1 – first of all, I have found my folder where MoBu stores config files. My path is – c:\Users\\AppData\Local\Autodesk\MB2009\config

   2 – I’m using «Maya» keyboard configuration, so I have opened Keyboard\Maya.txt and made changes to this file like in my post above

   3 – Then I have added some more scripts into the Scripts\ActionScript.txt
   For example – Script2 = Tree.py

   4 – Next step, I have added new line into the menuman configuration, for me it’s a NEILL-PC.menuman.txt file and a line
   Python Item Name 1 = Tree Example

   5 – Now everything is ready to start MoBu. It’s easy to check my adjustments, script is binded to shortkey shift+F2, so press this key to test.

   Hope that will help, please keep me updated on if it works.

   Yesss, it works

   Thanks a lot!

   In fact I had only the first keyboard shortcut set and I didn’t have a deeper lot at it because, as you mentionned at the top of the article, «For compatibility with Moby 7.5 I had to use keyboard shotcuts to call Python scripts from the keyboard, so the setup process requires a series of actions.»

   Well, it seems that I mis interpreted this and I thought keyboard shortcut were not mandatory.

   So everything is ok. Very nice plugin
