same problem here

Do you mean from Studio? I belive it's in Preferences.

If you mean the "Browse..." button in the Maxwell shader panel (in the plug-in), it remembers the last directory you were in, so I don't see a need for setting its start-up directory explicitly. Isn't it good enough like that?

[giacob]

yes Minnea we meant just that panel.
can u please explain how one can browse network directories when searching fo mxm with this plugin.
..frankly i dont get it
if one is forced to go just up or at home (the directory where maxwell is installed) i dont get how to select a network path ( i put the mxm in a network directory for coopertive render) or even just another drive where maxwell is not installed...... we cant be forced to put the mxm directory in the maxwell folder or just in the drive where maxwell is installed
thanks
p.s i dont even get what the pick bottons is for and yes like this mxm browser is not good enough IMO

[lopatam]

The same for me ,to choose an mxm from my database on my server I have to click the "load mxm " ,I can' t browse my network .
I need also the name of the mxm I choose in the plug-in panel somewhere ,because we work in team and when I get a scene made from another person Idon't know which mxm has been assigned.I've to guess from the material preview.

.. besides since material preview is not visible through window( mxm have not any window preview at the moment) the urge for a fix of this is very strong... at least would be nice if u could fix the problem with explorer preview

[mtripoli]

I'm wondering a bit why it was neccesary to create a "browser" from scratch in the first place... isn't the Windows style good enough...?

[Mihnea Balta]

Sorry, I missed the part about the network share. That will be fixed in the next build.

The windows style is not good enough because of two reasons:
- it doesn't display MXM previews unless you write an explorer plug-in
- there's no windows style on OSX ;)

[giacob]

next built? that means that the next patch wont fix it?

[Mihnea Balta]

"Next build" is the same as next patch, release, version, update etc. Next time we make an update, this problem will be fixed.

okay thanks
