I'm thinking there must be a simple solution here. I like being able to load my favorite scripts into the Python Scripts box in P4PP for a session. But when I reopen Poser later, the list of scripts goes back to the default set (i.e., Prop Samples, Geom Mods, etc). I tried saving the preferred state with my scripts loaded but they still didn't stay put. Do I have to load my favorite scripts each session?
Thanks! TG

Open the buttons.py in a text editor and edit the paths to your preferred scripts. Best backup a copy first just in case you want to restore the original.

Thanks PhilC! [got thrown a little at first since the buttons.py file didn't have references to filenames or paths, but I found a file named mainbuttons.py which looks like it handles the python scripts button box] cheers... TG

For a bit more detail, look at this picture.... Also consider buying Hogsoft's Python Library Organizer. Not free, but truly works wonders if you're going to use Python often. I don't have the exact link, but it's in hogsoft.comTguyus posted Thu, 20 January 2005 at 1:12 PM
ockham-- The manual.gif file was a tremendous help. Now I have my seven key scripts all set up in the Python Script box... and it turns out all seven were ockham products! I will also look into the Hogsoft organizer, esp. as my python script library continues to grow. Thanks again!

http://www.hogsoft.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=44 I bought Python Library because I got fed up having to hunt down python scripts when I wanted them now all I have to do is bring up the python script window in poser & there are all of ockham's scripts in one place :D

One great feature of Hogsoft's Organizer is the ability to attach notes to the scripts. I copy the readme's into the notes section.

I'm very glad to hear that someone likes that Notes feature! ;-)

The whole point of the Organizer is to eliminate time-wasting searching. Setting up the notes stops me from having to search for the read-me's for some of those complex Ockham scripts. I have been using Particles2 and MetaForm, plus scores of Ockham's and many other scripts. Hogsoft's Organizer saves me hours every week. It's a great utility.

Great, that was exactly how I expected that feature to be used when I pushed for it. I'm pleased some have seen the advantages of exploiting it.

Hehe... @layingback: You said the script notes would be useful:) Glad you find it useful, y'all! H:))
