Sorry you're right, I thought it was about workgroup numbering.
Anyway I got lots of errors, dunno if it's workgroup issue, they are all
related to .preset file in plugin's data/preferences dir (Ive seen even
factory ICEOperators raising this error)
like:
// ERROR : 2356 - This plug-in is not installed: rcCustomFilterSettings
// ERROR : 2356 - This plug-in is not installed: jhBatchieOptions
// ERROR : 2356 - This plug-in is not installed:
CM_DefaultPrimtives_Preferences
etc
these plugins still work so It's only 'cosmetic' error (?) ( I think Log
Verbose messages should be turned on to get this error)
As for double value in custom preferences it is
1) resetted to 0 after xsi restart
2) always read as 0 in c++ plugin
3) I see correct value (not 0) in default.xsipref file

Hi
Can you describe how to reproduce these problems?
For example, I do not repro the “plugin is not installed” error if a custom
preference is not in the first workgroup.

Please devs do something with dealing with custom preferences.
I spent 16 hours figuring out why double value is resetted to 0 everytime I
exit softimage??
and there is ‘red’ error (“this plugin is not installed”) if .preset file is
not located in first workgroup?

I stay away from the built in preferences myself because they get a bit
hairy trying to delete them eventually.
What you could do instead is have a text file holding your pref data which
is stored as a Python dictionary (as a string) and then creating a plugin
for the user that reads that string evals it back to a dictionary and builds
the UI dynamically and allows the users to set the proper prefs. You could
either store the prefs in the workgroup / addon directory or in the users
xsi folder. I've found this to be cleaner.

Subject: can't load cusrom preference
Gents,
I created a custom property in Python to house a single string and want to
install it in our workgroup as a custom preference. I have placed it in the
workgroup in \Addons\myTool\Data\Preferences\myCustomPref.Preset But when I
run Application.RefreshCustomPreferences() I get the following warning:
# WARNING : 3000 - Not able to load a custom preference:
Path\to\my\customPref.Preset
Any of you Jedis have insight into what might be wrong? I'm using 2012 SAP
on Windows, FWIW.
