I raised this exact point a month or two back.

got me stumped, the worst re-design of a dialogue/system ever, but i digress!
 
so i have a scene, let's call it scene A, i set up some passes and save the scene, and when it renders all is well....
little subfolders containing my shiny new frames
 
now lets say i take that scene and change a bunch of stuff, and save it as scene B
when it renders, for some reason it thinks it's still scene A and overwrites all my previous shiny new renders
 
hmmm, not so good
 
so i open the PASS render options, and lo and behold, there is a path there pointing to scene A's location (regardless of the scene options pointing to scene B)
 
"i'll just change it" thinks I....
 
except, there is no 'browse' button (i mean the three dots, NOT right click and browse which just opens an XSI browser)
 
NOW, it would appear the only way to change the paths, is to TYPE THE WHOLE PATH MANUALLY!?!?!? Or copy and paste!?!
 
are you kidding?!
 
who is responsible for this? i want names, first borns and recompense! i demand satisfactions sirs!
 
6.03 (hint) fix it (it's just a browser with an ok button on it and a passback of the location)
 
and i KNOW that xsi will put stuff in folders with the same name as the pass, what if i don't want this??
