Sam,
I think thats exactly his point. He probably isn't looking to use an
XSI-preformatted existing or nonexisting location to save his files. He
probably has a unique path he wants to select. Using Render Options and
Framebuffers to set the path and name may not easily cut it because it may
not easily match his path format. For example say you've rendered some files
from another 3d or comp app. You just want to add the new XSI files to that
location so you just want to select the existing path. You have to type it
in, you can't browse and select it. If you are using XSI templates as your
primary path/name formatting, it's no problem, you will be able to design a
template between Render Options and Framebuffers, but if it is a location
outside your XSI database and is not similar to an XSI convention, there is
a lot of modification to both Render Options and Framebuffers which have to
be typed in manually, at least within the Framebuffer. Render Options
provides for a single location, the master path, but if he has multiple
dissimilar locations IE different drive letters or different server names,
it doesn't help him much since the master path is useless. He just wants to
select each existing relevant path for each relevant pass. Can't do that
currently by just browsing for it, you have to type it in.
