I know this is old and probably not being developed anymore, but is there a way to stop Max creating all the default folders when using this script ?
Using Max 2014 and it keeps creating them.

thx

so sou want to set project folders by pressing one button? if yes, have you tried to the file>set project folder ??

set like in change. if you need to work on a different project that you`ve allready made folders for. If i use the set project folders after using your script, max creates all folders when it sees that there is no mxp-file in the projectdirectory.

Ok.. Let me see what I can do.. But I on't be able to work it within the next 5-6 days..

what about the possibility to CHANGE projectfolders, by just setting the path after browsing for folder? a browse button under the set root btn or something?

or is it the same thing

Hi,

now it's just perfect :)

pathConfig.setCurrentProjectF

kilad · 2009-03-19

pathConfig.setCurrentProjectFolder

is this what you need?

sinokgr · 2009-03-19

@kilad: Not exactly.. cause this function creates Max's folders and I want to filter them. But I haven't tested what would have if I filter them.. I just have to find some time for testing... Thanks for your support!!

@cecofuli: hehe I' glad that you liked it.. When I find some time.. I want to add an extra feature.. to export/import your settings..

kilad · 2009-03-23

pathConfig.setCurrentProjectFolder (root_edt.text+"\\"+project_edt.text)

works to some extent without making maxs folders.

im happy with it😆

thanks

sinokgr · 2009-03-26

Thanks kilad.. I've tested and works fine so I've added it. I've also added the "export/import settings" if you want to save or share your settings.

Thanks all of you for your support :D

@kilad: Max has many limitations on its default system. There is only one thing that I have in my mind that it might work.. but I have to find some time for testing.

@cecofuli: rename button added ;)

thanks,
sinok

great! I have been wanting this since project folders were introduced!

But i wish it could work as the "set project folder", now it doesnt set the project folder to what you type in, it just creates folder. How do you recommend using this?

sinokgr · 2009-03-12

I get your point.. let me see what i can do..

Thanks for your C&C,
Nick
