One minor thing, workflow wise, but pretty helpful in my opinion, would be to have the option to add in “World Machine Preferences” custom paths for different folder locations.
Personally, I like to have all my source images in one folder, so I would love to have that option to set that folder location for source images in “Preferences…” That means that setting such a folder in “Preferences…” will automatically direct any “Load” button search location, by default, in the location set in Preferences. The same applies for various outputs and for all the relative paths related to a project folder structure. It will be even better if well have the ability to add as many custom paths we want, this way no matter your project folder structure looks, youre able to do it.
P,S, - I find a bit unpleasant that World Machine is always opening the last location I used, and not the one is already set in the device as a Load or save location.
Yes, I’d like to see that too. I also have my own system of filing my content – all my graphics program content is under \GRAPHICS\CONTENT\worldMachine\tmd or \GRAPHICS\CONTENT\worldMachine\ter. Having the devices like Height Output with custom defaults would be great… just enter the name and the file is where I want it.
One last question. Do you think it will be possible to add as many custom paths we want? Some sort of “+” button to add a new path?
And maybe while were here (sorry, it wasnt the last question) maybe it will be possible to implement a naming convention mechanism.
I was thinking that for every output path, to be able to specify a prefix or a suffix to be added in front/after the base name and after that, if the output are tiles, to append the tiles naming convention.
