That's right, it doesn't. You are using the wrong view :-). The views are numbered starting with 0 (actually all properties are numbered that way). Like the example, <view n="1"> is the chase view. Often I find the property browser very helpful for debugging these kinds of things. If your setting doesn't seem to work, go in there and take a look...often a minor misspelling, or misplacement becomes obvious. Just the same, I will check to see if there isn't an issue there. It is possible that the viewer is initialized to the default path, that won't override, but we probably could make it change paths on the fly. My recollection though, is the model values get loaded before the view manager initializes, in which case it would work fine as is. > > I think what would be really good is a feature where a user could load in > some customizations that override previously set values if they want.
