REM  Batch Attribute Editor - copy the launch command to the clipboard
REM
REM  Double-click this file, then paste into Maya's Script Editor (Python tab)
REM  and press Enter. This script does NOT start Maya - you keep using the Maya
REM  session you already have open.
REM
REM  The copied command carries this folder's absolute path, so the project can
REM  live anywhere - USB stick, network share, any drive letter, renamed folder -
REM  and the pasted command keeps working without editing.
