From tedious to automated: How to use Python & PyMel to batch process Maya files
This code is opening each file in the folder, and applies some changes to it using a function called 'create_ctrl()'. If the function runs without issues, the script will save the modified file using the PyMel saveAs() method, with the same file name in a different folder location. If the function failed the script will skip that file and move on to the next one.
The script uses the getFileList() command to get a list of all the files in the specified folder, and it is storing the status of each file in a dictionary called "status" with the key as the file name, and the value as either "DONE" or "SKIPPED" depending on whether the function was able to run successfully or not.
Finally, the script is iterating through the status dictionary and uses string formatting to print out the file name and its status, with 20 characters of space between them.
It is worth to note that the function create_ctrl() is not defined in the script, it's likely that the user should define this function before running the script.
