Sorry, not sure who I poked there, you or SI, either way, it was not
meant except as friendly help :) the new plugins are excellent as was
your advise. no sleep for days, so perhaps I should stay offlist for a
bit and return when rational.

just a note though, install/register the lengthly script commands as per
normal way instead of registering with the plugin and using callbacks,
as like netview scripts, until we have undo bracketing, it requires the
user to do an undo for every command in the script, whereas a
traditionaly registered command undoes in one step. It caught me by
surprise, until Rafe and Olivier pointed out registering commands
normally and using callbacks containing the commands rather than
scripts in their entirety.

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
