JSE

Joe's Script Editor - Python based standalone script editor for Autodesk Maya using maya.cmds aiming to address issues with the default script editor and enhance functionality

###Curent status: Unstable pre-alpha

  • Many features that are listed in menus are not functional yet
  • Saving file has some bugs
  • Opening file is still WIP
  • Many more...

Installation

  1. Download as zip (button to the top right!)

  2. Extract JSE.py from the downloaded zip and place into the folder (typically):

    (where ~ is your home directory/folder)

  • Windows: C:\Users\YourUserName\Documents\maya\scripts
  • Mac OS X: ~/Library/Preferences/Autodesk/maya/scripts
  • Linux: ~/maya/scripts

or wherever you Maya scripts folder may be

Launching it (Simple)

  1. Open Maya
  2. Run in Maya script editor (in Python)
import JSE
JSE.run()

I highly suggest you check out the wiki links below for more configuration options for a faster/more intuitive launch in the future
