I stay away from the built in preferences myself because they get a bit hairy trying to delete them eventually.
What you could do instead is have a text file holding your pref data which is stored as a Python dictionary (as a string) and then creating a plugin for the user that reads that string evals it back to a dictionary and builds the UI dynamically and allows the users to set the proper prefs. You could either store the prefs in the workgroup / addon directory or in the users xsi folder. I've found this to be cleaner. - 2 cents -------------------------------------------- Eric Thivierge http://www.ethivierge.com On Sat, Apr 21, 2012 at 7:34 AM, Tim Crowson <[email protected] > wrote: > The warning in my first email is all I get. > -Tim > > > On 4/20/2012 4:26 PM, Stephen Blair wrote: > > Works for me. > Do you have the actual error message? > > > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected] > <[email protected]>] On Behalf Of Tim Crowson > Sent: April-20-12 4:36 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: can't load cusrom preference > > Gents, > > I created a custom property in Python to house a single string and want to > install it in our workgroup as a custom preference.
