Python: Par.isFile() method

Wishlist and RFEs

Hi!
Would be great to have Par class methods:

isFile()
isFolder()

Would be helpful for ‘assets collector - like’ scenarios:

for i in root.findChildren():
	for par in i.pars():
		if par.isFile():
			print('One more external file: ', par.eval())

Hi @letsius,

thanks for the suggestion, we’ve added it as a RFE for future consideration.
Currently you can use the Par Class’ .style member to see if you are dealing with a file type or folder type parameter:

for i in root.findChildren():
	for par in i.pars():
		if par.style == 'File':
			print('One more external file: ', par.eval())

cheers
Markus
