Hi people,
I am trying to change the export settings of a SceneSaver. Is it possible to use MSG_RETRIEVEPRIVATEDATA as in this example from Yannik Puech:

  
BaseList2D* exporter;   
BasePlugin* plug = FindPlugin(1026370, PLUGINTYPE_SCENESAVER);   
if (plug && plug->Message(MSG_RETRIEVEPRIVATEDATA, &exporter;))   
{   
    BaseContainer *data = exporter->GetDataInstance();   
    data->SetLong(FBXEXPORT_ASCII, FALSE);   
    data->SetLong(FBXEXPORT_BAKE_ALL_FRAMES, FALSE);   
    ....   
  
    SaveDocument(doc, "C:\\model.fbx", SAVEDOCUMENTFLAGS_DONTADDTORECENTLIST, 1026370);   
}

Or is there another way to change the settings?

Best regards,
Satara

Hi,

Unfortunately with Python it's currently not possible to send MSG_RETRIEVEPRIVATEDATA to the exporter and get its private data back.

Thanks for the fast reply. But does that mean that it is currently not possible to change the export settings?

Yes, we can't currently change exporter settings in Python.

Is this possibly going to change at some point? Batch export seems to be a typical task for scripting...

Hi Timm,

I agree this is an important issue. Developers are looking into it.
