Proper way to reload maya plugin (c++ and python)

[Anonymous]

My current method when reloading maya plugin is using python script to save the file(.ma /. mb) then store the maya file path, force maya to create a new scene,and then reload the saved maya file. the benefit of this method is i can restore all the connections amongst my plugin. the down side is it takes long time to reloading the scene.

is there any better way to do this?

if I don't create the new scene, i will have to delete the undo stack, delete the plugin, and all of those stuff.

Thanks

Hi,

I am afraid there no other way to do that properly. We do same kind of work when we debugging plug-ins internally.

That's what I thought recently, it's still taking time whenever we want to update the plug in. 

thank you
