---=== Email when a Metashape project is finished ===---

[c-r-o-n-o-s]

Hello,

I am looking for a "simple" solution to send an email when a Metashape project is finished.
(To be used in a batch process.)

There is already an approach here:
https://www.agisoft.com/forum/index.php?topic=7889.0

I need a "simpler approach", without registering SMTP servers etc.
At my work we use Outlook and have no direct access to the servers.
A simple "Mail:TO" or similar must be enough.
Then a mail should be sent by the user who is currently logged in.

Does anyone already have something like this in use and could make it available?

Thanks in advance!

OK, this one works with a standard text.

import win32com.client as win32
outlook = win32.Dispatch('outlook.application')
mail = outlook.CreateItem(0)
mail.To = 'XXX@XXX.XX'
mail.Subject = 'SAMPLETEXT'
mail.Body = 'SAMPLETEXT'
mail.Send()

With Alexey Pasumansky's suggestion to use the project name, it doesn't work.
(However, the suggestion is from 2017. Maybe it doesn't work with the 1.7.5 version?)

SAMPLETEXT = doc.path.rsplit("/",1)[1]
import win32com.client as win32
outlook = win32.Dispatch('outlook.application')
mail = outlook.CreateItem(0)
mail.To = 'XXX@XXX.XX'
mail.Subject = SAMPLETEXT
mail.Body = SAMPLETEXT
mail.Send()

Unfortunately, my scipting skills are very limited... 
However, a standard text is more than enough for now.

Hello c-r-o-n-o-s,

The following line should return the project filename, providing that the project has been saved and is opened in the active Metashape window:

Code: [Select]

SAMPLETEXT = Metashape.app.document.path.rsplit("/",1)[1]

Excellent, it works!
Until now, I had always tested it on a non-safe project.

Hello c-r-o-n-o-s,

You can add some check in order to deal with "untitled" projects as well:

Code: [Select]

if not Metashape.app.document.path:
    SAMPLETEXT = "untitled project"
else:
    SAMPLETEXT = Metashape.app.document.path.rsplit("/",1)[1]
