Hey guys, I would like to know if somebody found solution how to use filename longer than 260 chars. Filename here is path + filename + frame + extension. You can test it yourself if you run this command in VBscript SetValue Passes.Default_Pass.Main.Filename,

It's not really a Windows limitation anymore. My guess is that Softimage isn't converting paths to UNC (internally or accepting the forced UNC path format i.e. \\?\d:\32k path), details: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365247.aspx#maxpath On 30 November 2012 12:20, Alok Gandhi

Actualy Windows is not restriction for us because our storage is on Linux machine. I've simplified example to windows c: drive. I don't realy understand why XSI limits this if windows can create longer names. Huh. I also noticed if you enable skip rendered frames XSI thinks image exists even if

it's the Windows API that usually has a 260 char limit, unless you specially code your app to use long paths (there is a weird UNC trick) It's not a limit of NTFS or the network backend, but of most of the APIs. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365247(v=vs.85).aspx On

Then that requires you to have that plugin installed to have that custom property work properly each time. Another thought would be to create a custom property to host all the parameters then another one to use as the one that is used by animators. That one would have the proxy params pointing to

No, it doesn't. Once the custom property is instanced into the scene, it's local to the scene. You may see errors associated with the PPGLayout on scene load or whenever the property is inspected, but it will function just fine. Custom operators on the other hand Anyway, I don't see a

I'm not suggesting people use custom properties as one-off applications. With the addition of workgroups to make installation a drag and drop operation and the benefits self installing custom properties provide, there's really no reason why they shouldn't be used and preferred over
