I'm trying to write a script called "rerenderLastItem", which will duplicate the last item of the Render Queue and start rendering.



 
var lastIndex = app.project.renderQueue.numItems; 
var renderQueueItem = null; 
if(lastIndex > 0) 
{ 
    renderQueueItem = app.project.renderQueue.item(lastIndex).duplicate(); 
    //app.project.renderQueue.render();  // skip for now... 
} 
else 
{ 
    alert("No items in Render Queue"); 
}





The problem is that the new item in the queue is marked "Done".

I tried renderQueueItem.status = RQItemStatus.QUEUED; but sure enough, it is read-only just like the documentation claims.

Help, help. Thanks!

(And once I get past that, is there a way to script, "Do the render, and Yes to overwrite any existing render files please." ? )

Hmmm.... that's not too useful. You might have to do it the hard way. Something like this:





 
var lastIndex = app.project.renderQueue.numItems;  
if(lastIndex > 0)  
{ 
  var renderQueueItem = app.project.renderQueue.item(lastIndex);   
  var myRQItem = app.project.renderQueue.items.add(renderQueueItem.comp); 
  myRQItem.applyTemplate(renderQueueItem.templates[0]); 
  var OM = renderQueueItem.outputModule(1); 
  var myOM = myRQItem.outputModule(1); 
  myOM.file = OM.file; 
  myOM.postRenderAction = OM.postRenderAction; 
  myOM.applyTemplate(OM.name); 
  myRQItem.timeSpanStart = renderQueueItem.timeSpanStart; 
  myRQItem.timeSpanDuration = renderQueueItem.timeSpanDuration; 
  app.project.renderQueue.render(); 
}  
else  
{  
    alert("No items in Render Queue");  
}  






I think it will render on top of any files with the same name without complaining.
