Why is the loader app not showing my Alembic publishes

Hi everyone

So the tk-multi-loader2 app does not make use of templates to valid the paths, unlike the tk-multi-workfiles2 app.

Instead it simply looks for PublishedFile entities that are linked to the relevant entity selected in UI, and that the PublishedFileType of the published files matches the ones configured in the loader settings.

The get_publish_path method comes from the base Hook class. Which when given a PublishedFile entity dictionary, it will return a path appropriate to the operating system.

So if the alembic file is not showing up, then it’s most likely that one of the following is true:

  • It doesn’t have a path for your operating system
  • The loader is not configured with actions for that PublishedFileType
  • The selected entity in the UI is not properly associated with that PublishedFile entity.
  • There are additional filters being applied, either via the publish_filters setting, or via the filter_publishes_hook
