Question about wrapper objects (from Rob's SWTOR OM Pipeline talk)

Hello all (especially Rob)

I’m working on building a wrapper object for PSD files, broadening my horizons and working on a pipeline for practice and all that. I’m taking a lot of hints and suggestions from Rob’s talk on the SWTOR OMP, and at this moment I’m playing with wrapping my binary files in an XML wrapper, using a python object.

My question is this: When I pull the binary out of the wrapper file, is there a way to open a PSD in photoshop other than to create a temp PSD file that on saving gets re-wrapped into the XML?

Hey h6x6n,
I’m following your footsteps albeit many years later… I’m trying to understand the concept of wrapping and have just read Rob’s GDC pdf. I hope you found your answer somewhere and may be able to give me a pointer.

Oh god, it’s been years. If I recall correctly, what I did was use a sidecar xml file. I’d go back and look at the code, but that was a whole studio ago :slight_smile:
