Re: sacrilegous? insulting the gods?

One small beef I have with xsi's implementation is that the paths button is way up in the upper right while all the other similar buttons are upper left, which creates a lot of back and forth mouse movement. IMO, paths should be upper left.

I also would LOVE it if the paths button was customizable. As in the paths, not the button itself.

Sorry, no, it is more a tool for normal windows users and those don't need that feature very often ;-)
Because of that, I normally had each sequence in it's own folder...
But with XSI not having something like .rpf or layered .psd like lightwave, I start to have the same issue, since it is annoying to have that many folders for each pass... :-(
But maybe you can use the XSI file dialogue and drag and drop the sequences to fusion?

Best regards and a good 2006 to everyone.
