We recently moved to 3dsmax9. How do I turn off the “feature” that automatically moves macroscripts to the users settings folder whenever the scripts are edited? This is wasting so much much of our time, it is unbelievable.
Who thought this was a good idea?
Nevermind, Mr. Paul Neale pointed me to the answer by Keith Morrison in another thread:
You’ll find this switch, with no UI item I can find in max, in this ini…
<root dir>\InstallSettings.ini
This switch makes it save crap all over your \My documents\ folder area… what a bunch of BS… ha ha…
useUserProfiles=0
It defaults to 1, set it to 0 and it’ll stay in it’s own folder…
Within the maxroot I also created a \User\ folder into which to path all the “Addtional” script and plug options found in “Configure System Paths”, so if an artist wants to make a simple script it will not get mixed in with the standard production scripts.
