RickW Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 When I choose File->New or File->Open and browse to my home directory, Houdini lists all folders in there, hidden or not. I have a bunch of folders that are named like .fluxbox, .xmms, .gimp-1.3, etc. If I type ls in a shell, I can not see this folders. If I open up nautilus or another GUI File Manager I can not see these unless I enable "show hidden files" In Houdini, I checked the Main Preferences and there's an option to "show hidden files". The default is unchecked but I don't think it applies to the file browser. Any thoughts? Using Houdini 6.1.x, Linux Thanks, /Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenong Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Hey Rick, I don't think there is a way to change that. You can setenv foo '$HOME/hip' in your .tcshrc, .bashrc or .login file & typing $foo into the path parameter will bring you directly to the directory. Or better yet, typing $foo/myhip.hip into the file parameter will open or save the file immediately. Cheers! steven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickW Posted September 18, 2003 Author Share Posted September 18, 2003 Hi Steve, I didn't know Houdini will read the environment variables that I set in my .rc file. Do you know if there's a way to get my list of varibles to show up in the "Jump" dropdown menu under the file save/open dialog? I'd like to set Job specific paths like: JOB1 JOB2 JOB3 Currently I see HOME, TMP, JOB, etc in that menu. I tried editing the houdini_setup file as root but my variables are not in that dropdown menu. Thanks, /Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenong Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 Hey Rick, Unfortunately, the Jump button variables are hard-coded & you can't add to it. However, after you type your own variable for the first time, the Jump button remembers it until you quit Houdini. Cheers! steven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickW Posted September 19, 2003 Author Share Posted September 19, 2003 Ahh great tip! Thanks, /Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edward Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 Another way is to simply always do something like this in your alias: alias h 'cd ~/hip; houdini' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
