[Maya-Python] how to make a progress bar that show Maya are working on it

[Yoga Yasahardja]

Hi, so I'm new to maya python and have created a tools that when I pressed
the button, that will copy files to destination.
As for more practice and make it cool, I want to create a progress bar when
maya doing this work. This things also can let people clear wheter the job
has been finished or not.
I don't get how the cmds.progressBar work for this things, and how to put
it. Some enlighten would be very appreciated. :)

I also didn't get what is this and how to use it (found in this forum) :
gMainProgressBar = maya.mel.eval('$tmp = $gMainProgressBar')

Because that's leads me to nothing.

This is a copy of my script.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


import maya.cmds as cmds
import os
import shutil

if cmds.window('fileMover', exists=True):
cmds.deleteUI('fileMover', window=True)

folder = os.listdir("B:/PROJECT/JTM03")
ep = []

for item in folder:
if len(item) <= 6:
ep.append(item)

def moveButton(*args):
listItem = cmds.textScrollList( 'scrollList', q=True, si=True)
for item in listItem:
episode = item.split('_')[1]
scene = item.split('_')[2]
shots = item.split('_')[3]
phase = item.split('_')[4]
finalpath = 'B:/PROJECT/JTM03/' + episode + '/' +
phase.split('.')[0] + '/'
newFileName = 'JT_' + episode + '_' + scene + '_shot' +
shots.split('SH')[1] + '_ani.ma'
srcfile = finalpath + item
dstdir = 'V:/J_Team/3D/Shots/' + episode + '/' + scene + '/shot'+
shots.split('SH')[1] + '/'
finaldst = 'V:/J_Team/3D/Shots/' + episode + '/' + scene + '/shot'+
shots.split('SH')[1] + '/' + newFileName
if not os.path.exists(dstdir):
os.makedirs(dstdir)
shutil.copy2(srcfile, finaldst)


def printMenu( episodes ):
if cmds.textScrollList('scrollList', exists=True):
cmds.deleteUI('scrollList', control=True)
epFolder = []
directory = os.listdir("B:/PROJECT/JTM03/"+str(episodes)+"/ANM")
for file in directory:
if file.endswith(".ma"):
epFolder.append(file)

cmds.textScrollList( 'scrollList', append=epFolder, ams=True, w=300)
if cmds.button('moveButton', exists=True):
cmds.deleteUI('moveButton', control=True)
cmds.button('moveButton', label='MOVE TO CLIENT FOLDER', w=300, h=50,
c=moveButton)

#WINDOW
window = cmds.window('fileMover', title='FILE MOVER', sizeable=False)
cmds.columnLayout()
cmds.optionMenu( label=' EPISODES ', changeCommand=printMenu, w=300,
h=40 )
##dropdown menu
for i in range(0,len(ep)):
cmds.menuItem( label = ep[i] )

cmds.showWindow( window )

First you need to import

import maya.mel as mel

and your moveButton function will look like this

def moveButton(*args):
listItem = cmds.textScrollList( 'scrollList', q=True, si=True)
# accessing maya Main progreas bar
bar_name = mel.eval('$tmp = $gMainProgressBar')
# creating bar
cmds.progressBar(bar_name, e=True, bp=True, ii=True, status='"Your
Message...', max=len(listItem))
barCount=0
for item in listItem:
episode = item.split('_')[1]
scene = item.split('_')[2]
shots = item.split('_')[3]
phase = item.split('_')[4]
finalpath = 'B:/PROJECT/JTM03/' + episode + '/' +
phase.split('.')[0] + '/'
newFileName = 'JT_' + episode + '_' + scene + '_shot' +
shots.split('SH')[1] + '_ani.ma'
srcfile = finalpath + item
dstdir = 'V:/J_Team/3D/Shots/' + episode + '/' + scene + '/shot'+
shots.split('SH')[1] + '/'
finaldst = 'V:/J_Team/3D/Shots/' + episode + '/' + scene + '/shot'+
shots.split('SH')[1] + '/' + newFileName
if not os.path.exists(dstdir):
os.makedirs(dstdir)
shutil.copy2(srcfile, finaldst)
# adding progress in bar
cmds.progressBar(bar_name, edit=True, step=barCount)
barCount+=1
# Ending bar
cmds.progressBar(bar_name, edit=True, endProgress=True)

That's not working as I want. But thankyou bro.. I'll try to combine it
with this one I found :
I think the key is I have to put my task into maxlimit and right now I'm
thinking to solve it.
Thanks for enlighting me up!


def progress():

cmds.progressWindow(title='Progress Bar', progress=0, status='Progress
: 0%%', isInterruptable=False)
limit = 1000000
step = 1
for i in xrange(limit):
progress = 100.0 / limit * i
if progress % step:
continue
cmds.progressWindow(e=True, progress=progress, status='Creating
Directory : %d%%' % progress)

cmds.progressWindow(endProgress=True)

cmds.progressWindow(title='Progress Bar', progress=0, status='Progress
: 0%%', isInterruptable=False)
for i in xrange(limit):
progress = 100.0 / limit * i
if progress % step:
continue
cmds.progressWindow(e=True, progress=progress, status='Copying
Files : %d%%' % progress)

cmds.progressWindow(endProgress=True)

progress()
message = cmds.confirmDialog(message="Successfully Copied! ", ma =
'left', icn='information')
