open maya crash file OS X service

By November 20, 2010No Comments

Here is a handy little workflow for Automator by Dave Girard, if you have ever crashed Maya and had to hunt down the saved file that Maya created before going down, this script will open that file for you… sweet!

“Just an FYI for people that I made this handy OS X 10.6 service that lets you open the last file saved out from a Maya crash: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xqap_OnvJv4

Here’s the file, with install instructions inside the zip archive It’s nothing magical – it’s just parsing your system log file for the last crash and sending the stripped down output to the OS X “open” command.”
