If you're setting up workgroups, Dan, it's worth taking a look at the new
plugin architecture. A plugin is simply a file you drop into the plugin
directory and it allows you to build ppgs with a good range of ui items and
sophisticated callbacks. You can also use them to install commands and scripted
ops. It makes it a whole lot easier now to maintain a custom toolset.

pretty sure it can be a generic folder. We made a folder on our server
just called v4_wg and pointed all the machines to that. It worked fine. We are
using local xsi installs, so no obvious place on the server anyway.

Subject: v4 Workgroup setup
Hi all, with v4 I want to finally get a workgroup set up properly. I
just wanted to clear up a few things...
I will point every machine's workgroup path to \\server\Softimage\XSI_4
.0 where the real local path on the server would be c:\Softimage\XSI_4.0 and
the Softimage folder (and all below) are shared - is this correct? Does it
have to be the XSI location on the server or can this be any generic folder I
create for myself so long as it's shared? Does XSI even have to be installed?
Initial tests with this method cause XSI to hang on startup...
I have RTFM, but details are a little slim....
Thanks,
DAN
