RV Cookbook - How to get things done with RV in Python

Ever wondered how to create a custom property? The docs don’t go into detail on it so here an example.

Works in RV 2024.1.0

Here quick example of creating and setting a custom property

import rv
source = rv.commands.addSourceVerbose(["abc.jpg"])
source_group = rv.commands.nodeGroup(source)

propName = "%s.tags.counter" % source_group
if not rv.commands.propertyExists(propName):
    rv.commands.newProperty(propName, rv.commands.IntType, 1)
rv.commands.setIntProperty(propName, [22], True)
print (rv.commands.getIntProperty(propName))
