Logik was my only use for Facebook, hurrah i’m free! Question to the Hive… we would love to paste a file path directly into the desktop or anywhere in flame. Importing files straight into the software, bypassing the media hub, but also opening up Flame to more pipeline integration shenanigans. Is t…

Welcome @Ryan You can, if you’re on MacOS drag and drop the file into the library if that’s what you’re after.

Does this help?: [image] Copy a path Flame Questions This is something so simple that I’m embarrassed to even ask but is there a way to copy a path of a file from the MediaHub that can be pasted into an email, etc. ?

I don’t now of a way to bypass the Media Hub to import clips, but you can bypass it to export them. I know you can also work in Batch in a way that allows you to point the input clip to a location and update if the render updates; for instance if you get a new pass of CG.

@Brooks & @ALan might be able to address this better!

What is it exactly that you’re trying accomplish? Depending on what it is, there could be several ways to do this but it really depends on what workflow problem you’re trying to solve or improve.

So you mean like in Nuke in the batch schematic just paste a file path? In theory I’m sure it should be possible. You’d probably have to open a case for it. As @Sinan says you can use finder but also Dolphin (or whatever in Linux) to drag files in. In Linux i don’t think it works everywhere and yo…

Thanks, sorry should’ve stipulated, Linux

Thanks so much, let me be a bit more specific. With a database pipeline we find the actual location of files can be quite scattered, and when we want to bring in a number of clips from different locations it would be handy to be able to paste file paths, multiple at once if possible, into the deskt…

Can I ask what you use to find the different elements/passes? Unless doing what @johnt suggested works for you then the “easiest” way that comes to mind is generating the various paths and writing that to a file. You would then need to write a hook that would scrape that file which is stored in a pr…

To find the file path to begin with we’d browse our bespoke pipeline database, and copy the path from there. So the dump file would act as a more sophisticated linux clipboard, interesting. The use for this would be for bringing in shots or passes, when not using pattern browsing, or re-importing …
