Permissions would throw errors. If there are no errors, I'd look into updating crosswalk. If that doesn't work, delete your softimage user profile and let it regenerate automatically upon next restart.

It's one possible cause of the problem, and it's easy to eliminate it as a possibility. Anyways. Is anything logged in the script history? What do you see run Process Monitor while he tries to import or export a material library?

At initial glance permissions are fine. But what about the fact that he can't export anything in the dotxsi format? Matlibs are .xsi files after all.... -Tim On 2/25/2014 1:19 PM, Stephen Blair wrote: Check the permissions on the MatLib folders and on the files. http://screencast.com/t/qCBIIE9e8cC On Tue, Feb 25, 2014 at 2:18 PM, Tim Crowson <tim.crow...@magneticdreams.com<mailto:tim.crow...@magneticdreams.com>> wrote: He's actually not able to export matlibs from his machine.

Quite suddenly, a guy that sits next to me at work was unable to import any material libraries this morning. Whenever he imports a material library (any matlib), Softimage creates an empty Material Library called "___defaultlib___". We have done all of the following: - runonce.bat - cleared prefs - even stripped and re-installed Softimage completely! This is using Softimage 2014 SP2.
