Hi,

Our houdini.env file is setup in a way that we extend the default Houdini install folder to a second location.

This means that we can save presets into $Houdini_user_pref_dir but also the drop down list shows that extra location. Namely “Rjx4/tools/dcc/houdini”.

The problem is when saving a preset, the default location points to $Houdini_user_pref_dir and I would like it to point to “Rjx4/tools/dcc/houdini”.

I've checked if Houdini stores this setting somewhere but didnt find it. There is also no environment variable that seems to be connected to this.

Am I missing something?

Thx!

You can change the $HOUDINI_USER_PREF_DIR variable to point to that directory.

You can also control this by the order of your $HOUDINI_PATH I believe as well (though this would also change the search order).

There may also be a setting you can change in one of the configs but I'd have to dig around and take a look.

Also if you add a package to Houdini's environment, the folder will show up in the list so you can save presets to it..
