Hello, friends! I’m trying to export fbx file by my script but export window appears with picked blend file folder instead of last recent one. I can’t handle how to tell script to select recent folder. If somebody can help me I will be happy)

My script

class Retarget_OT_Export_Operator(bpy.types.Operator):
    """Export character to fbx"""
    bl_idname = "retarget.export_operator"
    bl_label = "EXPORT"


    def execute(self, context):

        #Define fbx name
        if animtrack.mute == 0:
            filename = rig.animation_data.nla_tracks["ANIM"].strips["ANIMATION"].action.name
        if animtrack.mute == 1:
            if rig.animation_data.action:
                filename = rig.animation_data.action.name
            else: filename = "!NO ANIM DATA!"

        char_mesh = bpy.data.collections['RETOP']
        for obj in char_mesh.objects:
            obj.select_set(True)
        bpy.ops.export_scene.fbx('INVOKE_DEFAULT', filepath=filename, use_selection=True, object_types={'ARMATURE', 'MESH'}, mesh_smooth_type= 'FACE', add_leaf_bones = False, use_armature_deform_only = True, bake_anim = True, bake_anim_use_all_bones = True, bake_anim_use_nla_strips = False, bake_anim_use_all_actions = False, bake_anim_force_startend_keying = False, bake_anim_step = 1.0, bake_anim_simplify_factor = 0.009999999776482582, path_mode = 'AUTO', embed_textures = False, batch_mode = 'OFF', use_batch_own_dir = True, axis_forward = '-Z', axis_up = 'Y')
       
        return {'FINISHED'}


def register():
    bpy.utils.register_class(Retarget_OT_Export_Operator)

def unregister():
    bpy.utils.unregister_class(VIEW3D_PT_export)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    register()

filename = <your_path> + rig.animation_data.action.name

Thank you for your answer! I need not defined path but last recent, how it works when fbx exporter used as usual. Folder destination sometime changing and I don’t want to change it in the script every time.
Here something useful but I am not so coder to attach it) https://docs.blender.org/api/2.93/bpy.types.SpaceFileBrowser.html#bpy.types.SpaceFileBrowser.recent_folders

bpy.types.SpaceFileBrowser.recent_folders[0]

should get the most recent folder, so you would use:

filename = bpy.types.SpaceFileBrowser.recent_folders[0] + rig.animation_data.action.name

Unfortunately :frowning:

Python: Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/MyTools.py", line 191, in execute
AttributeError: type object 'SpaceFileBrowser' has no attribute 'recent_folders'

location: <unknown location>:-1

Try:

bpy.types.FileBrowserFSMenuEntry.recent_folders[0]

Python: Traceback (most recent call last):

I found this but it’s not working and no error. I think the problem is filebrowser appears like temp window and my approaches just gone miss

try that with a [0] on the end
