i do it the same way like you bernard, BUT.. xsi still keeps looking
for the standard folders. if there is scenes it will change into it
automatically, same with all other stuff like actions, pictures etc.
so it wuld be nice if you could teach xsi not to look in scenes but
\3d for instance.
that would be tereffic.

Hi,
I was wondering if its possible to alter the default directory structure
in xsi when it creates a new project, or what it expects to find in such
a tree. One thing would be to for example take away the capitalization
of all the dir names, its great in windows but when you navigate the
structure using a *nix command console its a tad annoying to always
remember going for the shift key. I've found some entries in the
registry but before messing with that I was wondering if that actually
does what I hope it does. Also how does messing with that affect old
project structures?

Lastly before I try it, has anyone tried having sym links in an xsi
project tree, for example:

/proj/myproj/scenes/shot001/Render_Pictures -> /proj/myproj/out/shot001

Any problems with doing that? Does xsi know or care about the
difference?

thank you,
Fabian
