Bug: Build Version: 2.4.4.20888 - Preset location locked

Data created:3 October 2019

We just updated to the latest build (2.4.4.20888) and found a feature we use is now unavailable.

The feature was to use the environment variable `ORNATRIX_MAYA_GROOMS_DIR` to set a location for a common presets library.

I've tried setting this to a full UNC network path and to a physical drive local path with the same result.

The "Default Location" for presets is now locked to: `C:\ProgramData\Ephere\Ornatrix\Grooms`

 

Updated from: 2.3.8.19783

OS: Windows

Maya Version: 2019.1 - 201905131615-158f5352ad

 

ps: Is there a better place to report bugs / issues?

After doing more exploration on the issue, I found that the environment variable has changed.

`ORNATRIX_GROOMS_DIR` - Groom presets

`ORNATRIX_PRESET_DIR` - Curve presets

 

This is only found in the README.txt accompanying the downloaded plugin files for this version - It is not reflected in the online documentation. (https://ephere.com/plugins/autodesk/maya/ornatrix/docs/2/Grooms.html)

Recommendation: Update the documentation with a page dedicated to possible environment variables and configurations used by a Pipeline department

Hello Maj,

This is the best place to report Ornatrix bugs. Thank you for your suggestion, we will update the documentation to reflect this change.
