12/5/2023 0 Comments Dropboz symbolic linkerI’ll try and make time to set mine up like you if I get a chance later… although you said you had it working before rebuilding so I’m taking it for granted it should work. Since Blender creates new startup/userpref files on first save when there is none I’m not sure if it puts these in the app\2.6x folder if there’s an empty config folder there… never tried that but it would make sense if she did just that. If none found there then it will look in the path you mentioned. Good for different versions, test builds, different projects, whatever. Well it’s a feature, but there shouldn’t be a config folder in the install 2.68 folder unless you put it there somehow along the way (hence the comment “as per your post” I made since it was unlikely).īlender looks for a config folder in the app\2.6x folder first so we can have multiple versions on disk (btw I never install), each with thier own startup/userpref settings. … It’s my understanding that Blender user preferences (addon’s, UI changes, system settings etc) are all stored in \Users but could Blender be getting confused by the 2.68 directory in its install directory? If anyone has any ideas on how to get this working properly, I’d love to hear them! Bring your photos, docs, and videos anywhere and keep your files safe. Sadly they don’t I don’t really know why! All I have is an warning message in the Addons tab about there being multiple addons with the same name. Bring your photos, docs, and videos anywhere and keep your files safe. Delete newly created settings directoryĪt this point I would expect my addons and settings to load when starting Blender.Launch Blender, save user preferences and close Blender.Reformat laptop, install Windows 7, install Dropbox and Blender 2.68.Symbolic link back to Blender settings directory and relaunch Blender Move these settings directories to Dropbox.Install any addons and set up user preferences.Here are the steps I’ve taken to get to where I currently am. However, after recently formatting my laptop, I’ve noticed that (at least with 2.68) this doesn’t appear to be working. This was basically detailed and outline in a tutorial on Blender Cookie. In an effort to keep all my settings and addons synced between systems, I use Dropbox to store actual settings files and then use symbolic links in normal Blender settings locations. So, I travel a lot so have Blender installed on both my laptop and my desktop, in both Linux and Windows on both systems. I ended up deciding this was a technical problem. Firstly, apologies if there is a better place to post this.
