Timeslider marker scripting

[brurpo]

Hi there!

I am trying to do some automation that, among other things, will add markers using the new timeslider bookmarks.

But I was not able to find any doc for it using mel or python and even echo all commands does not return anything. Is it possible?

Thanks!

In case anyone stumbles at this. Timeslider bookmarks are made through nodes (not sure why the command does not return them in the script editor)

But here is a snippet of my code where I create them;

$BRP_TS = `createNode "timeSliderBookmark"`;
  $BRP_TS = `rename $BRP_TS ("SHOT_" + string($i +1))`;
  setAttr -type "string" ($BRP_TS + ".name") ("SHOT_" + string($i +1));
  setAttr ($BRP_TS + ".color") -type double3 (rand(0.3,1.0)) (rand(0.3,1.0)) (rand(0.3,1.0)) ;
  setAttr ($BRP_TS + ".timeRangeStart") $inF;
  setAttr ($BRP_TS + ".timeRangeStop") $outF;

omg thank you. Lifesaver. Why Maya doesn't log some of its more interesting actions I'll never understand. I'd also like to auto-populate the GameExporter's anim clips based on bookmarks but that's another thing that's tricky to track down in Maya.
