You don't need to blow away the whole folder, it's just easier.. user preferences and keyboard mapping are already separate files in the preference folder. you can just copy them or write a script that blows everything else. if you keep the preference file though, remove the workgroup setting in it if you're trying to debug a problem On Thu, Apr 18, 2013 at 9:19 AM, adrian wyer adrian.w...@fluid-pictures.com wrote: i think the key phrase was; deleting the whole user folder.. that does clears a few more complicated things, including perhaps some plug-ins, perhaps image proxies and a spdl cache. we regularly have to blow away someone's user folder to fix issues (like once every couple of weeks on some machines) having the ability to save keyboard mapping/preference files and import them would certainly make this workaround easier to swallow!

Re: unresponsive under win7
The problem should be fixed is in Sofitmage : having the progress dialog in a separate thread, plus poll for the cancel button more often, so that you can click cancel (although ICE may not be able to cancel in the middle of a frame) For the other problems, the unresponsive message windows gives is a symptom, it isn't the cause of the problem. Is the problem that windows is graying out Softimage's window? If so, the only work-around for not is to ... browse the web/check mail on something another machine. But if you want to try changing the unresponsive time out value, you can try this (reboot after change) http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc978614.aspx On Wed, Apr 17, 2013 at 10:03 AM, Sebastian Kowalski l...@sekow.com wrote: i understand, but is this something i have to live with, or is there some kind of workaround? like setting the win7 not responding threshold higher … dont get me wrong, i understand that softimage has to process all that crap i told it to do (siming, caching ..) but that not responding, not able to stop or the worst case not displaying/ caching when playing forward is not acceptable. i use softimage as fx tool these days and mostly just waiting for the gui to come back is exhausting. btw. updating the quadro driver helped a bit, the window switching is gone.

Re: unresponsive under win7

RE: unresponsive under win7
Admittedly this is not a phenomenon specific to Soft. In the early days of Maya the first course of action, recommended by support when we had bizarre issues, was to delete or rename the prefs directory. It often helped and having done this enough times and having manually edited the userPrefs script file several times I came to the conclusion that it was not a clear explanation to say that the userPrefs file was corrupt or the actual fault. I think it's possible to suggest that settings saved in the file, that might otherwise be fine by themselves, when combined with other saved settings might have contributed to cause and effect. The point being that the problem potentially wasn't the contents of the prefs file itself or the file being corrupted somehow, but how or in what order some values were being saved and then reloaded that revealed obscure or bizarre issues in the software. This is all hypothetically speaking, of course. -- Joey Ponthieux LaRC Information Technology Enhanced Services (LITES) Mymic Technical Services NASA Langley Research Center __ Opinions stated here-in are strictly those of the author and do not represent the opinions of NASA or any other party. -Original Message- From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com [mailto:softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com] On Behalf Of Matt Lind Sent: Wednesday, April 17, 2013 1:41 PM To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Subject: RE: unresponsive under win7 Something really needs to be done about that clearing XSI preference folder workaround.

RE: unresponsive under win7
I don't buy that. I've had to clear out my preferences folder 4 times just in the past 6 weeks for various issues in 2013 SP1. I set very few preferences, and once they're set I don't touch them anymore. Yet weeks later performing this or that Softimage suddenly gets very flakey. Clearing out the preference folder seems to be the only workaround. This issue has been getting worse with each release. Most noticeably starting with 2010. We rarely had to do this in 7.5. There is something wrong with how tools are reading/writing that file. I have noticed it's organized as category.preference = value, but the preference and '=' are separated by a tab instead of space. Is it possible there is code assuming it should be a space?

Re: unresponsive under win7
Parsing a few strings separated by an equal sign once at the top of the application isn't going to cause the app to get flaky. In 12 mil lines of code, that's not where the complexity is. Anyway, that file is ASCII, you can diff it, delete part of it until you find the offending issue, etc. There shouldn't be a cargo cult around this file. Now deleting the whole user folder.. that does clears a few more complicated things, including perhaps some plug-ins, perhaps image proxies and a spdl cache.

RE: unresponsive under win7
OK, that at least narrows some things down. All our plugins are in external workgroups. SPDL cachenot sure what would tap into this. We do have some SPDL based shaders, but nothing else. Not sure about image proxies. We don't use FXTree. What I'm getting at is our environments are pretty consistent, but for some reason performing a given task in Softimage seems to throw a monkey wrench into everything. The problem is figuring out the cause as we cannot find a consistent trigger which we can reproduce. It has a very random feel to it. If there is something else we can try other than flushing the entire folder, that would be preferred as it's a real pain to have to reset preferences and everything else for a user each time this occurs.
