'userData' dictionary
profiles['Package'] = {'exportType':'packageInternal'} #Adds an
entry to the 'userData' dictionary
Once the user selects a custom export option, the next hook that is fired is preCustomExport(), where the
information about the export is set, based on the entry the user has selected.
def preCustomExport( info, userData ):
#Test what 'exportType' was select in the UI, by the user
if userData['exportType'] == 'forReview':
#Set the proper 'presetPath' in the info dictionary
#This defines which preset is used for the custom encode job
info['presetPath'] = '/path/to/export/presets/uncompressed_qt.xml'
#Set the 'destinationPath' in the info dictionary
info['destinationPath'] = '/path/to/Smoke/exports/' + CURRENT_PROJECT + '/'
if userData['exportType'] == 'Package':
#do something else...
In the above example, the option the user selects from the contextual menu defines the what is performed
in the preCustomExport().
