File-New Script

You can have a script run immediately after File/New operations to adjust various aspects of the new scene, for example to configure export file names, camera names, etc for your site-specific conventions.

The script to be run is configured in the File New section of the preferences, either as a user-friendly name as found on the Tool menu, or as a full file name that ends in .szl (Sizzle), .py (Python), or .sia (Synthia).

Leave the preference empty to have no such script; this is the default.

Note: Scripts started by name run after the File/New completes, as a separate operation. Scripts started by filename run during the File/New.

Note: This script will run after File/New or if you drop an image file into SynthEyes, but not if you use File/Open on the same image/movie. This behavior is by design so you can easily bypass running the script as needed.
