Reordering custom parameters...

Reordering custom parameters...

Solved.

The problem was an administrator rights issue. Seems that XSI can't manage the
"spdl's thing" without being an administrator.
Finally I got a nice reason to convince the company administrator to let me
free way... :P

Ignasi.

PS. I think that maybe it's time to find an easiest way like "drag and drop" or
something like that, isn't it?

 Hi,

 time ago someone asked about reordering custom parameters.

 Because some day I could fall in the same problem I saved the answer to that
question. Today is the day.

 I need to reorder some custom parameters. But something doesn't works.

 -First I ctrl + shift + rightclick to "install" the spdl.
 -After that I Ctrl + Shift + Right click to "edit" it, and here comes the
problem. XSI don't allow to edit it, always says "This property set is not
installed"

 Anyone knows what I'm missing?

 Ignasi.

 PS. Here is the original answer:

 You need to edit the SPDL:

 - shift + ctrl + click the title bar (not the window title, the PSet title)
and go to "install" and name it "TEMP.spdl"

 - shift + ctrl + click the title bar (not the window title, the PSet title)
and go to "edit"

 - Go to the Layout section, if it is something like:

 Layout "Default"
 {
             "ParamBool";
             "ParamByte";
              "Param";
              "Param1";
              "Param2";
 }

 You can reorder it to something with groups and tabs like:
