A way to force non-read-only open? Part 2

[Florian T.]

It´s a problem which was discussed one year ago but its still a problem. Wenn i´m running a script which opens a *psx file it´s starting in read-only mode and ask me if i want to modify. Not always but sometimes. So it is interupting the automation script. I use version 1.4.0 and in 1.3.3 the open(path,read_only=False) was implemented which i suposed could handle the problem. It´s still integrated in my scrip but wouldn´t help at all.

If anyone have an idea... I´ll take it.

Hello Florian,

I can suggest the following workaround:

Code: [Select]

doc = PhotoScan.Document()
doc.open(path, read_only=True)
doc.read_only = False
doc = PhotoScan.app.document
doc.open(path, read_only=False)
Can you please check, if it works as expected?

Hi Alexey,

the solution don´t work because every time photoscan opens a file i get the pop up "The project was open in read-only mode. Please make sure you have writing rights on the project folder". So i have to quit every file by clicking on "Ok". But I need a possibility that my script opens 20 or more files and process them one after another without the need to click anything ;-).

I´ve tryed the following:

Code: [Select]

doc.read_only = False
doc.open(path, read_only=False)
At the moment it seems to work for me. Maybe it´s just luck but a test with around 10 files works fine.

Thanks!

Hello Florian,

Have you tried the suggested solution? As you can see at first the project is not opened in GUI (doc = PhotoScan.Document() not PhotoScan.app.document) and the lock is removed, then it is loaded to GUI. Do you still see the confirmation box when following this approach?

Shame on me ... sorry you´re absolutly right.
I used the doc = PhotoScan.app.document as a global variable for both and missed the point you mentioned before.

Now it works fine with your workaround.

Thanks!
