SetDir

Topic: version 4 MAXScript Language Improvements/Language Improvements

SetDir <filetype_name> <string>

Sets the directory specified in string. Replicated in the Customize > Configure Paths dialog for the specified file type.

The valid <filetype_name> values are:

#autoback

#drivers

#export

#expression

#font

#help

#image

#import

#matlib

#maxroot

#maxstart

#plugcfg

#preview

#scene

#scripts

#sound

#startupScripts

#ui

#vpost

Returns true if successful, false if not. Does not check to see if <string> is a valid path. Any change made through this function is immediately reflected in the 3dsmax.ini file and so is persistent. Use with caution.
