Hi
The project list comes from the various .xsiproject files. In
particular, the one in the factory location and the one in the user
location (as well as any found in workgroup or addon locations).
For example, on Windows:
C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Softimage 2014 SP1\Data\factory.xsiprojects
C:\Users\SOLIDANGLE\Autodesk\Softimage_2014_SP1\Data\default.xsiprojects
So I'd look into what is happening with those files. Softimage reads
them at startup to populate the project list, and writes to them when
you add a new project (unless of course Softimage doesn't have
permission to write to the file).
With the more recent versions of Softimage, you can start XSI.exe and it
will figure out the right User folder eg
C:\Users\SOLIDANGLE\Autodesk\Softimage_2014_SP1

I'll take a stab and guess he pinned Softimage to the windows taskbar
with the shortcut pointing to xsi.exe instead of xsi.bat.
Failure to do that one simple thing causes Softimage to revert to
default settings and use C:\users\<username>\softimage as the profile
folder with factory default settings instead of
C:\users\<username>\autodesk\softimage.

*Subject:* Softimage ProjectManager Project List Not Saving
Hey everyone,
I have a bit of a strange problem here.
One of our artist here, everytime he reopens Softimage, his project
list in the project manager is empty, reset to defaults.
We have deleted his user preferences, created new ones, reinstalled
the computer.
For some reason it happens everytime, and only to him.
With that said. I must also point out, that in every company there are
2 or 3 artists/animators that somehow always find a way to break
things in the most obscure and random ways possible.
This guy is one of my 3 that always figure out how to break things in
interesting ways.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing this?
Thanks,
Enrique
