I did this a little while ago and it’s been pretty useful for me, so I wrote a quick tutorial last night on how to add an option to the right click contextual menu on windows folders to open maya, and set that folder as the project.
Thought maybe some of you would be interested or find it useful, so I thought I’d share.
any idea how you might run that process on a mac?
thanks for sharing the information and idea…

Yeah, I was gonna try it out sometime this week. I’ll keep you posted.
Sorry I didn’t get back to this sooner, I’ve been pretty busy. You should be able to add an item to the right click menu using this and run a bash script that does the same thing as the bat file I posted.
We are doing in other way: http://www.youtube.com/user/damat3d#p/u/5/2AGeoJAmFh8
This is 100% Maya functionality, extended with MEL.

Not sure what I could have done wrong? the default maya path was the same as mine. The menu right click ends with an error:
E:\Maya\Projects\Kirin
Application not found
I am guessing it’s a permission problem? so I tried administrative permision checkbox in the .bat properties windows but the option is greyed out. ( I guess as much is not possible with bat files? )
re-wrote the bat so Windows did not recognize it as an extrnally created bat. But still no luck.
Hey, sorry it took me so long to see this. If you want, feel free to PM me your new bat file and I can take a look at it on my machine.
