Hi Can you describe how to reproduce these problems?
For example, I do not repro the “plugin is not installed” error if a custom preference is not in the first workgroup.

I spent 16 hours figuring out why double value is resetted to 0 everytime I exit softimage?? and there is ‘red’ error (“this plugin is not installed”) if .preset file is not located in first workgroup?

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]<mailto:[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.

I have placed it in the workgroup in \Addons\myTool\Data\Preferences\myCustomPref.Preset But when I run Application.RefreshCustomPreferences() I get the following warning: # WARNING : 3000 - Not able to load a custom preference: Path\to\my\customPref.Preset Any of you Jedis have insight into what might be wrong?
