Yeah that is the case as far as I know, it is saved every time you add a workgroup and the list keeps getting bigger and bigger. Thanks Alan. On Wed, Sep 4, 2013 at 4:30 PM, Alan Fregtman wrote: > I'm not Andreas, but from my experience it's best to rewrite user > preferences. (We have a module

I'm not Andreas, but from my experience it's best to rewrite user preferences. (We have a module at work to do this.) Not sure if it's still so, but just before the module was made, if I remember correctly we found some of the other methods accumulate workgroups in the list. Rewriting is the best

Talking about that Andreas, What is the best approach to switch per project workgroups, overwriting user preferences and having custom launchers for softimage? Thanks in advance. Oscar On Wed, Sep 4, 2013 at 12:41 PM, Andreas Bystrom wrote: > I was mostly referring to softimages plugin system

I was mostly referring to softimages plugin system actually, trying to upgrade plugins inside of a workgroup in the middle of a large project with lots of users can be a pain, older scenes that had previously worked fine might break after updating, not to mention downgrading plugins again if you fi

For render farm usually we use -wg flag to set the workgroups when we call xsibatch since in our studio different project may required different workgroups. -wg allow us to point shared path on fileserver where workgroups are located. Cheers, On Tue, Sep 3, 2013 at 7:34 PM, Daniel Kim wrote: >

Don't worry, Daniel. Workgroups aren't perfect, but they get the job done. I'm not sure what 'world of pain' Andreas is talking about, although I know he's dealt with stuff at a very different scale than some of us. For what we do, and what I'm guessing you're likely to be doing, workgroups wil
