Need a way to disable TfMakeDirs in SdfLayer::_WriteToFile

[asluk]

For usd layers in Omniverse, saving fails due to the TfMakeDirs call in SdfLayer::_WriteToFile. We'd like a way to disable this behavior that is compliant with the current thinking on Ar 2.0

Hi team,

It's fairly critical for our own roadmap that a solution lands for this in v20.08. I imagine that Ar 2.0 won't be part of that release, but do you envision some near-term fix/runtime switch for this SdfLayer::_WriteToFile behavior? Let me know any way I can help.

Thanks!

Hey @asluk - we're going to see if there's something forward-looking we can do in the 20.08 timeframe - stay tuned!
