The best you can do is activate real time script logging including verbose mode in your scripting preferences. There might be an additional environment variable or two which can be activated, but those would be for specific contexts such as debugging operators. When faced with this problem I usually created self installing plugins (events) to trigger when needed for these types of things so at least I'd get an idea of when stuff would happen in the context of startup.
Another thing you could try is to create a dummy plugin, such as a startup event, and use Microsoft Visual Studio (C++) to 'attach to process' in the debugger and see if it can sniff what XSI does on startup while attempting to load the plugin. Still likely on the outside looking in, but you might pick up at least a few hints of what's going on to help steer your next step of troubleshooting. You can likewise try GDebug or similar tool for sniffing a custom OpenGL shader to get similar info. We did this a lot at Carbine as a means to get issues diagnosed, reported, and fixed.....or at least diagnosed and reported. Matt Date: Fri, 22 Apr 2016 18:04:51 +0000 From: "Ponthieux, Joseph G. (LARC-E1A)[LITES II]" <j.ponthi...@nasa.gov> Subject: RE: script log at startup To: "softimage@listproc.autodesk.com" I just need to know what the software does on startup. In particular what tests it runs or files it creates, updates, etc. In particular is there any part of the startup process that is failing but not preventing Soft to run. Currently Soft is able to save a scene, it can then read it back in, but if I close Soft the saved file is no longer readable the next time Soft is run. I've deleted preferences. It is doing the same regardless what version of Soft I use. -- Joey Ponthieux LaRC Information Technology Enhanced Services (LITES II) Science Systems and Applications Inc.
