Re: [Maya2osg-users] Discussion of next changes

[Jean-Sébastien G. <jea...@cm...>]

Hi Javier,

I've added code to get the notes string from Maya nodes and put it as a 
description on the corresponding OSG node. I've also started writing 
code to export the custom attributes. It would be more general if I 
could export all types of custom attributes (within reason), but I can't 
find a way in the MPlug class to find out the type of the attribute 
(other than trying asString(), if that fails try asFloat(), if that 
fails ...). Do you know of a way?

Also, I see that the notes appear in the API as a custom attribute (and 
in the Maya UI when there's something in the Notes field it also shows 
up under "Extra Attributes", and disappears if you remove the text in 
the Notes field). I think I'll just export them all that way, as custom 
attributes, each attribute in a separate description string, with its 
name on the first line. That way, the notes will appear too and we'll 
have an easy way of knowing that this description contains whatever was 
in the Notes field. Any objections?

Thanks in advance,

J-S
