Publish components without copying files

[Sigga]

Hi

Is it possible to publish a component without copying files to location? We're using a shared drive where the media files are already stored and we don't want the files duplicated to another location.

Thanks,

Sigga

If you don't want Ftrack to manage the locations for you, you could use the ftrack.unmanaged location and publish the files using that location. You can query the location like this:
 

location = session.query('Location where name is "ftrack.unmanaged"').first()

Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for.
