Hi Erkan, I have tried to fix my file naming system but I not sure if this the correct way to code it. can you give me some advice? here is my code

FT = FilenameTemplate(
    name="Filename_Template",
    target_entity_type="task",
    path='$REPO{{project.repository.id}}/{{project.code}}/{%- for parent_task in parent_tasks -%}{{parent_task.nice_name}}/{%- endfor -%}",
    filename="{% for ep in project.sequences %}{{ep.name}}{% endfor %}_{% for shot in project.shots %}{% set sh = shot %}{% for cut in sh.tasks %}{% set c = cut %}{% for fxsc in c.tasks %}{% for role in fxsc.tasks %}{{sh.name}}{{cut.name}}_{{role.name}}{% endfor %}{% endfor %}{% endfor %}{% endfor %}_{{version.take_name}}_v{{"%02d"|format(version.version_number)}}"
)

i found that my code is way too long!!

please give advice Desmond

Aside being long it is not correct. What you are doing is to put all the sequence names of the project side by side and then add all the shot names to is etc.

Here is what you are looking for:

ft = FilenameTemplate(
    name='Filename_Template',
    target_entity_type='Task',
    path='$REPO{{project.repository.id}}/{{project.code}}/{%- for parent_task in parent_tasks -%}{{parent_task.nice_name}}/{%- endfor -%}',
    #filename='{% for ep in project.sequences %}{{ep.name}}{% endfor %}_{% for shot in project.shots %}{% set sh = shot %}{% for cut in sh.tasks %}{% set c = cut %}{% for fxsc in c.tasks %}{% for role in fxsc.tasks %}{{sh.name}}{{cut.name}}_{{role.name}}{% endfor %}{% endfor %}{% endfor %}{% endfor %}_{{version.take_name}}_v{{"%02d"|format(version.version_number)}}',
    filename="""{%- for p in parent_tasks -%}
        {%- if p.entity_type == 'Sequence' -%}
            {{p.name}}
        {%- elif p.entity_type == 'Shot' -%}
            _{{p.name}}{{p.children[0].name}}
        {%- endif -%}
    {%- endfor -%}
    {%- set fx = parent_tasks[-2] -%}
    _{{fx.name}}_{{version.take_name}}_v{{"%02d"|format(version.version_number)}}""",
)

Thanks for the advice.

Question

• Does stalker have entity_type for Episode? for tv series project.

[eoyilmaz]

No we generally use Sequence in place of Episodes, we give names like Ep001.
