Shotgrid Open RV Override

RV
1

Hello,

In Shotgrid when right click “Open In RV” we want to override the open RV command so it runs a command line and opens RV with additional environment variables and menus. Is there a way of doing this? I’ve seen the RVPush docs but am not sure if this is whats needed or if it is how to install it.

Many thanks

Joe

I think the easiest (or most appropriate?) way to do this is to have a wrapper script act as the protocol handler for rvlink:// URLs, since that’s what those links come as (Help). Then your wrapper script can determine any number of things to do when launching RV.

Thanks for the Advice Jason. I’ll give that a try.

I’ve found you can change the command thats run in windows registry:

Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\rvlink\shell\open\command

Exactly, on windows thats where you do it.
