Accessing save/version's description string from onDocumentSaving

[ltomuta]

Looks like the description parameter given to document's save method cannot be accessed when handling the onDocumentSaving event.

It would be nice to be able to decide whether to allow or not to save based on the content of that string or to be able to change it before the save

Hi @ltomuta -san.

I tried it on the documentSaved event.
The description you can get is one of the previous ones.
The server is probably getting the Datafile before the upload is complete.

# Fusion360 python Addins
import traceback
import adsk.core as core
import adsk.fusion as fusion

_app: core.Application = core.Application.get()
_handlers = []

class MyDocumentSavedHandler(core.DocumentEventHandler):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
    def notify(self, args: core.DocumentEventArgs):
        doc: fusion.FusionDocument = args.document
        datafile: core.DataFile = doc.dataFile

        # One previous description
        _app.log(f"description: {datafile.description}")


def run(context):
    try:
        onDocumentSaved = MyDocumentSavedHandler()
        _app.documentSaved.add(onDocumentSaved)
        _handlers.append(onDocumentSaved)

    except:
        _app.log('Failed:\n{}'.format(traceback.format_exc()))

Yes, accessing the already saved strings is possible. But not the about to be saved string.
