Render and email
This script renders all queued items in an open project and sends an email report to indicate when the render
has completed. It makes use of two other scripts that follow, email_methods.jsx (to send the email properly)
and email_setup.jsx (which establishes the sender, recipient, and email server).
We start by establishing conditions under which the script will run. An open project with at least one item
queued is required.
{
var safeToRunScript = true;
safeToRunScript = app.project != null;
if (! app.project) {
alert ("A project must be open to run this script.");
}
if (safeToRunScript) {
debugger;
//check the render queue and make certain at least one item is queued
safeToRunScript = false;
for (i = 1; i <= app.project.renderQueue.numItems; ++i) {
if (app.project.renderQueue.item(i).status ==
RQItemStatus.QUEUED) {
safeToRunScript = true;
break;
}
}
if (! safeToRunScript) {
alert ("You do not have any items set to render.");
}
}
Now we check whether we have email settings already saved in the Preferences. If so, we don’t need to prompt
the user. If not, we run the email_setup.jsx script, which prompts the user as to the mail gateway, sender and
recipient addresses. If there are saved settings that you need to change, you can always run email_setup.jsx to
make new settings that overwrite the existing ones.
if (safeToRunScript) {
var settings = app.settings;
if ( !settings.haveSetting("Email Settings", "Mail Server") ||
!settings.haveSetting("Email Settings", "Reply-to Address") ||
!settings.haveSetting("Email Settings", "Render Report
Recipient")){
// We don't have the settings yet, so run email_setup.jsx
// to prompt for them
var email_setupfile = new File("email_setup.jsx");
email_setupfile.open("r");
