Hello Friends,
I have got a problem with the maya.cmds.fileDialog() function in Maya2009. Every time I open the dialog, Maya hangs itself and I have to kill it via task manager. As far as I could find out this happens only if the function is called in a Python context, so calling it in MEL directly from the shelf script works, but calling it in MEL from Python code causes the same problem. I also tried fileBrowserDialog, same problem. I don't know if there is a problem with threading that causes a deadlock or something like that, I also tried other dialogs (the color Editor) which work fine.
I am extending a tool for my company, so I have to use Python....
Sorry if that question was asked already (it seems to me as if there must be a lot of coders having the same problem) but I tried the fileDialog and fileBrowserDialog search already and also asked google...
Thx in advance!
