How to find where the current analysis was loaded from, etc. in Spotfire® Using IronPython Scripting

Introduction

There is metadata available containing information about where the file was loaded, what filename was used, and what filename will be used when saving again.

Code Sample

# Since you cannot both have a file loaded from Library and from File, some of the properties will always be null below and throw exceptions.
# If file haven't been loaded from library or filesystem (i.e new file) all of the properies below will be null.

try:
	print "LoadedFromFileName: " + Application.DocumentMetadata.LoadedFromFileName
except Exception,err:
	print(err.ToString(),"Exception")

try:
	print "LoadedFromLibraryItem: " + Application.DocumentMetadata.LoadedFromLibraryItem.Title + ', ' + Application.DocumentMetadata.LoadedFromLibraryItem.Path
except Exception,err:
	print(err.ToString(),"Exception")

try:
	print "LoadedFromLibraryPath: " + Application.DocumentMetadata.LoadedFromLibraryPath
except Exception,err:
	print(err.ToString(),"Exception")

try:
	print "FileNameUsedBySave: " + Application.DocumentMetadata.FileNameUsedBySave
except Exception,err:
	print(err.ToString(),"Exception")

try:
	print "LibraryItemUsedBySave: " + Application.DocumentMetadata.LibraryItemUsedBySave.Title
except Exception,err:
	print(err.ToString(),"Exception")

try:
	print "LibraryPathUsedBySave: " + Application.DocumentMetadata.LibraryItemUsedBySave.Path
except Exception,err:
