Re: Softimage promo
Okay Just got tired of the issue so I created a small application. XSI Bounce Just copy it into the Appplication/bin folder. It shouldn't matter what version you are using. All it does is check to see if XSI.bat is there and if it is run the batch file. It will then quit. On fast machines you probably won't even notice it opening.

Re: Softimage promo
By context menu, I mean the Pin this program to the taskbar item in the context menu of the Taskbar when Softimage is running. The problem is that this option pins xsi.exe because that's what running. If you make a launcher that starts xsi.bat and then quits, then it doesn't solve that problem because the running process is still xsi.exe. It just adds a launcher that launches another launcher (cmd.exe which launched the .bat file) It solves the other problem, which is that it gives you something to drag on your taskbar, since .bat file won't work. But you can take the shortcut for Softimage 2013 that is on your desktop, modify Target to add cmd.exe in front of C\Program files...xsi.bat and now you can drag and drop it onto the taskbar On Wed, Apr 17, 2013 at 7:35 AM, Luc-Eric Rousseau luceri...@gmail.comwrote: how does that fix the context menu the user is trying to use? if you wanted something to put on the task bar directly, afaik you can already drag a standard windows shortcut to XSI.bat like ralf wrote On Wednesday, April 17, 2013, Angus Davidson wrote: Okay Just got tired of the issue so I created a small application.

RE: Softimage promo
Hi I get what you are saying. However you are missing the point. This is just simply for the folks who want to be able to right click on an exe file and add it to the start menu (note not the task menu) Its meant as nothing more then as a option to remove an annoyance (and doing the workarounds is a additional process). You personally might not find it annoying, but there are those of us who do. Those who do can relieve that using a variety of methods. To me this is very simple and elegant method. If I had the time I would expand it to be customizable in the same way that the batch file is to do away with that step completely but right now this is fine for me, possibly others as well.

I'm on Windows 8 here.

Re: Softimage promo
I think thats pretty common when you look at older software. In the beginning it's all about new features and making use of new paradigms a software offers. As it matures and collects features, people become aware and weary of the small annoying things that might have been plaguing them for years, hence they are more thankful having one or two thorns removed from their bread and butter tools rather than the next big Crowd Simulation toolset only a handful of people will never need. It's mostly been UI (Qt, viewport) and now modeling tools for Maya too for the last couple of versions. na the dx 11 is cool but its seems to becoming standardised, max was over due for some UI enhancements, view port switching was painful before, i remember that, but I was speaking more specifically about the larger features. which is ironic when you think about it, the little tweaks and fixes are more interesting then the key features discussed.

Re: Softimage promo
No, the shortcut still points to XSI.bat. I'm sure it wasn't possible to pin the 2013 icon to the taskbar, but obviously I'm mistaken, because in can be, by starting SI and RMB-pinning the icon. The icons cannot be dragged and dropped to the taskbar, though, 2014 and older. Sorry for the confusion.

Re: Softimage promo
Adam good job! But still that AD thing. Maya and 3DS got in my perception 80% of the whole presentation incluiding that Short film thing. Mark I think he just gave up and is still traveling in his vintage VW through the Tibet or something like that. For me it is very clear now that AD in never going to put the camera aligning tool, nor upgrade the viewport of Softimage to perform like Maya's. If they do that what will be the advantage of having either 3MAX or Maya above Softimage? Redshift 3D is coming for Softimage and its going to blow up your minds. 2013/4/12 Leonard Koch leonardkoch...@gmail.com Well done Adam.

Re: Softimage promo
Small Annoying Things is the name of a Max website that became an internal mini-dev model. Maya and Mudbox adopted it, but I guess the team shuffling and the complete lack of a product manager for months on Soft's side left it late for that bandwagon. I'd be surprised if they didn't adopt it for the next version. On Fri, Apr 12, 2013 at 10:33 AM, Christopher christop...@thecreativesheep.ca wrote: Honestly it was too short, not even (1) thing ?
