Launcher action to create folder structure for task if not existing

[BenSouchet]

Goal / To Do

• Add a new action in the Launcher tool to create the folder structure for the selected task (project, shot) if the structure is not already present on the server
• Ensure the action is displayed ONLY if the folder structure is not present already
• Display a popup to tell the user if the operation succeed

New button created, only appearing if the folder doesn't exist:

A popup informs the user

And the path is put in the clipboard

The only problem for the moment, is that to make dissaper the create button after clicking on it, I refresh the discover_actions() in the launcher window, which will make unavailable the turning circle showing the progress of the opening of a soft

Made an update to only refresh the actions if the process() from action return something
And only the create folder.process() return something at the moment

Thus, we can still have the rolling charging circle on others action (apps)

I cleanup, reworked & optimized the code. Last element to discuss is should we disable the Open Work Dir action when the workdirectory doesn't exists OR should we call the mkdir.

After testing, here are the troubles:

• Can't access explore here or create folder from asset, a task must be selected (not necessary, and best if we can keep access those actions from asset only and task too)
• Explorer here open a file explorer even if the folder doesn't exist, before, a notification message appared at the bottom left to inform us the folder doesn't exist. But like you said, we could just hide the action if the folder doesn't exist, sounds good.
• The create folder return a error:
  WARNING:quadpype.tools.launcher.window.LauncherWindow:Action launch failed.
  Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\hfarreQP\quad\quadpype\src\quadpype\tools\launcher\window.py", line 425, in run_action
  return action().process(filtered_session)

  path.mkdir()

After retakes here are the returns:

• Explorer here properly create the folder if doesn't exist

• Create folder seems to work but an error still occurs:
  WARNING:quadpype.tools.launcher.window.LauncherWindow:Action launch failed.
  Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\hfarreQP\quad\quadpype\src\quadpype\tools\launcher\window.py", line 425, in run_action
  return action().process(filtered_session)
  File "C:\Users\hfarreQP\quad\quadpype\src\quadpype\plugins\actions\create_folder_explorer.py", line 39, in process
  self.copy_path_to_clipboard(path)
  File "C:\Users\hfarreQP\quad\quadpype\src\quadpype\pipeline\actions.py", line 111, in copy_path_to_clipboard
  path = path.replace("\", "/")
  TypeError: replace() takes 2 positional arguments but 3 were given

• Finally, can we implement the refresh of the plug in discovery to update like this:
  When the folder is created by explorer here or create folder, the option to create must disappear

[BenSouchet]

Now everything should work fine

Yes, I confirm the success of the tests !
