  I'm sorry I cannot help you so much with this, as I couldn't test it in
Mac yet. Anyway, if you manage to make it work, the contribution is
appreciated.

I get the command in Maya and it will run but I can't find the output file

  What OSG version are you using? What file extension are you trying to
export to?

  I assume from what you say that "root" has a valid scene graph. The only
thing I can suggest is to trace the osgDB::writeNodeFile code to see where
the problem is. Be sure also that there are no problems with write
permissions. If the scene is not written, some error message should be
printed on the console. What do you see there?

Another minor hiccup is that the std::cout command seems to no longer print

  The standard output is not sent to the script window, it goes to the
console where you started Maya (in Linux) or to the Output Window (in
Windows). I also suggest you to compile the plug-in with the "_DEBUG" symbol
defined as it can give you more information about potential problems.

  Thank you for your feedback. The Xcode project is welcome.


  Happy new year!
