Thanks Simon. Just an additional note, these preference PPG's are saved out in your user install location:
~/Autodesk/Softimage_2012.SAP/Data/Preferences If any of these stored PPG's were created using registered plugins that are removed in the future, XSI will log warnings complaining about missing Property definitions. You can stop the warning messages by clearing out the files in that directory. -B On Wed, Jun 27, 2012 at 6:30 PM, Simon Anderson < simonbenandersonl...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thats pretty handy piee of code, especially for persisting data > > Thanks > > > On Thu, Jun 28, 2012 at 2:40 AM, Bradley Gabe <witha...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Don't forget, you can also create a custom PPG and install it into the >> user preferences.
