I would like to have my $HOUDINI_USER_PREF_DIR on the cloud, because then I can have it all the same on all devices, and I can have version control of the files in that folder, even the .json files in the /packages folder, which the $HOUDINI_PATH does not seem to read and is seems only to be read when in the $HOUDINI_USER_PREF_DIR/packages.
How do I set it? I had read that I need to set it before houdini.env, so I tried setting it as a permanent environment variable on my Mac. In which I succeeded: Now when I type echo $HOUDINI_USER_PREF_DIRin Terminal, I get the location on the Cloud, but when I do it in Houdini Textport Pane, I get the default string.
Yea HOUDINI_USER_PREF_DIR needs to be set before running Houdini (not in a package or in houdini.env). What do you get in the console when enabling HOUDINI_PACKAGE_VERBOSE?
Hello since i lose my presets on my nodes every reinstall I`d also like a way to save them somewhere specifically like in my HSITE or something, did you ever manage to find a way to set this up ?
