Maya Notification Preferences Interoperability with Script Editor Output
0 reputation · 21 Jan 2022, 12:31 UTC
Maya's Notification Preferences UI (Preferences -> Interface -> Notification) provides global toggle switches for alert categories such as UI notifications, Script Editor messages, and Render output. A precise goal is to determine whether disabling the Script Editor category reliably suppresses all script‑generated print and warning messages, or whether certain output channels bypass the filter despite the user's preference. The UI offers only per‑category granularity without per‑project or per‑tool filtering, and script‑generated print statements appear as notifications even when the Script Editor category is disabled. Behavior varies across Maya releases; earlier versions do not expose the Notification panel, and the underlying filtering mechanism remains undocumented, making consistent expectations difficult. Does the bypass of disabled Script Editor categories represent a deterministic side‑effect of Maya's notification queue? Are there undocumented attributes that could alter the filtering behavior? Can script‑generated messages be redirected through an alternative logging path that respects user preferences?
