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?
...Replace
explorer.exe as default windows surface with xsi.exe ;-)

Best regards and a good 2006 to everyone.
