Hi there.
So when you have a compound which contains (say...) a 3d model and some textures,
is there any way to consolidate all files that are used by that compound (models, textures,...),
copy them in a subfolder of that compound
and make the filepaths in that compound relative?
I could imagine some Lua script for that, but maybe mighty Axy already has a solution for this?
Cheers and all the best.
Eric.
You can do that with http control, but it's a bit verbose.
For example, looking at the documentation
ComposerFindModulesAction (Returns the list of all modules under the specified root compound whose name matches the pattern.)
and
ComposerEnumPinsAction (Returns the list of the available input pins of the specified module along with their types.)
can help you process all the compounds and pins.
But there are not any commands to create a compound and set the values later.
Hi Eric,
Can't you do that with the Dependency Manager's Repl. Folder or Repl. Extens.?
Similar to what we discussed here: https://my.aximmetry.com/post/1407-how-to-relink-missing-footage-and-assets
After that, you can even package the whole project into one file using the Packager program:

Warmest regards,
Hello again.
Re-thinking this topic, is there a way in Axy for a Lua script to query Compound's values? For example the Import Source property?
In such a way I could step through the compounds I want to consolidate with that script and use os.execute to copy the files to a a new location.
Another idea would be to parse the actual xcomp (xml) file.
But since Lua, even with the proper libraries, feels a bit clumsy with xml, I'd like to avoid that route... :-)
(Plus, I would first have to reverse-engineer the xml structure of the xcomps... :-))
Cheers.
Eric.
