Can't disable autoload via userSetup

evalinia — Wed, 30 Nov 2022 22:27:06 GMT

Hey all,

I'm trying to disable autoload on all my plugins in a userSetup.py file. Loading/Unloading plugins works fine. It's just setting autoload to false that doesn't seem to work. Am I missing something? It might be worth mentioning that I'm running Maya on macOS.

I'm running:

from maya import cmds

# Force Auto load all plugins to False

pluginList = cmds.pluginInfo(query=True, listPlugins=True) or []

for plugin in pluginList:

cmds.pluginInfo(plugin, edit=True, autoload=False)

Thanks in advance,

Evelyn

Could this be a bug on MacOS? Does anyone on windows or linux see this issue? Unfortunately, I can't test.

Just wanted to check in on this again. Is this a bug or is there another way I should be going about this?

Just closing the loop...

After digging around and talking to colleagues, I'm pretty sure it's not possible to disable plugins via userSetup. I found this older article, so I'll try going about it that way.
