Hi,
I’m writing a script that will set max settings the same to each user on the same project.
I can’t find how to check the box ‘Convert local file paths to Relative’ in customize – preferences – Files with maxscript
I found how to activate ‘Convert file paths to UNC’ like this:
pathConfig.resolveUNC SystemGlobal:resolveUNC true
anyone know how to do something similar with ‘Convert local file paths to Relative’
Thanks
I’m trying to do the same thing.
I tried using dialog montitor / UI Accessor, but maxscript seems to stop as soon as the preferences dialog is open.
I have a script at work that setups up everybody’s work environment. This is the only option I can’t seem to set.
Yeah,
I still haven’t found out how to do it… maybe it’s just not somthing you can do with maxscript
if you are OK with c++, SDK see http://forums.cgsociety.org/showpost.php?p=7502611&postcount=6
with mxs you can get property state from ini file:
getINISetting (getMAXIniFile()) #Paths #ResolveUNCPathsForMappedDrives
getINISetting (getMAXIniFile()) #Paths #ResolveToRelative
you can set these properties in ini file, but it will not automatically update the preferences.
Thanks DenisT!
You know I looked for the setting in the INI, but I never found it. Maybe I looked in currentdefaults.ini instead of 3dsMax.ini.
The user is prompted to restart 3ds Max for the setup to finish, so that’s not a big deal for me.
