ID 453443 - Setting default export template for exporting channels via the Mari config file or environment variable doesn't work

Follow

Problem summary
Setting default export template for exporting channels via the Mari config file or environment variable doesn't work

This seems to happen with:

Export Current Channel

Export All Channels

Export Everything

Export Current Channel Flattened

Export All Channels Flattened

Export Everything Flattened


Customer reported version
mari.4.6v3


Customer reported platform
windows7


Steps to reproduce


A


1) Set the following environment variable:


MARI_EXPORTIMAGESEQ_TEMPLATE=$CHANNEL.test.$UDIM.tif


2) Open Mari and open the example head project

3) Channels>Export>Export Current Channel


4) In the Export template path, notice that the template does not use the one set via the environment variable:




B

1) Open your Mari4.6v4.ini/.conf file


2) Under [ExportImageSeq] change the path in Template, for example:


3) Open Mari and open the example head project

4) Channels>Export>Export Current Channel


5) In the Export template path, notice that the template does not use the one set in the Mari config file


*If you change the template in the export dialog, then close Mari, it updates the config file, but it doesn't seem to use it.


Expected behaviour

For the Export dialogs to use the export template set in the config file or the environment variable 


Actual behaviour
It uses the previously set one


Workaround
You can use the Python commands in mari.resources to set the templates Pythonically
