Editing the file open UI

[Dfulton1]

Hello,

I was wondering if there is a way to modify the File open UI to allow for user driven filtering. Mainly in the My Tasks tab?

Hi there @Dfulton1,

Thanks for posting! Just to clarify the request here. Are you looking for a way to add filter on My Tasks tab or try to get the filter option available in File Open UI?

If it’s the former one, then you probably should check the following post:

Hide certain tasks from artists in Shotgun File Open (tk-multi-workfiles2)

Hi there, Is there any way to hide the tasks that are displayed in the hierarchy of the Shotgun File Open (tk-multi-workfiles2) dialog when choosing which file to open? For instance, we have a setup like this for our modelling step - a Modelling task (that the artist should use to open, save and publish files to) and two approval tasks (internal and technical) that the artist should not use. At the moment, when we publish, a Maya scene file is created which is basically a copy of the workfile,…

Hello,
I’m not to much looking to filter this behind the scenes but to give artists ways to filter there own tasks if they choose in the menu you.
More or less wondering if there is a way to add to the GUI itself.

Hi David – We have a longstanding feature request for allowing the user to choose which fields to sort on in My Tasks. I’ve linked your post to that request, and I’ll bring it up with the product team. However, I know that’s not exactly what you’re asking for. I’d encourage you to submit your request on our roadmap page. Thanks!
