Maxwell Render folders in a new project

In the old times, Maya created automatically special folders for maxwell render, at the time to create a new project.
For instance: Maxwell Scene
Now using Maya 12 and Maxwell 2.7 I cannot do that anymore. I wonder if this feature was removed or if it is located in a place that I am not finding...
Thanks in advance

The directories were created by the Maya project editor automatically, but this behavior has changed in 2012 or 2011 (I can't recall exactly). In older versions it used to make a subdirectory for each exporter that was loaded when the project was created, but right now it just uses the "data" subdirectory for all of them. You can expand the "Translator Data Locations" rollup in the project editor, select "Edit" instead of "Use defaults", then change the entry for "MaxwellScene", but I don't think it remembers this, so you'd have to do it each time you make a new project.

I see...
This is something built inside Maya right?
I wonder if this could be corrected in the pluggin...
Thanks

It's a Maya built-in feature, plug-ins have no control over it.
