first of all I don't know if it is the correct way to do it... under pymel 1.0.2 and Maya 2011 in kubuntu 64bit, in userSetup.py, I'm setting an optionVar by using:
pm.optionVar['MIP_SHD_EXPOSE'] = 1 # ( to enable the hidden mentalray shaders ) pm.runtime.SavePreferences() # to save the prefs I saw it is saved to the preferences when I exit Maya, and it effects when I restart maya but it is not affecting the first session I run the code... Is there any other way to make it apply also to the current session ? E.Ozgur Yilmaz Lead Technical Director www.ozgurfx.com -- http://groups.google.com/group/python_inside_maya
