narbuckl Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 edit>autosave checkbox to turn it on, you can adjust preferences for it in the edit>preferences>save options dialog hscript command to turn it on and off is just 'autosave on|off' for your temp folder you just need to set the environment variable 'HOUDINI_TEMP_DIR' to whatever you want it to be -Nathan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harima Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) Thank you! Is there a way to have the auto save on as default? Maybe with another env variable? Right now I have to remember and turn it on for every session. About the temp. What does this folder full up with? I was working on a shot with many Sim stuff and checking every now and then how big the temp folder is. It was always so small -around 80mb- is that normal? Cheers!

Guest tar Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 the temp folder will fill up with sim cache with 'Allow Caching To Disk' on AutoDopNet node - if you are rendering out your file then it would simple write it to the $Hip/cache etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harima Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 Allright. I don't have Houdini in front of me but I assume that's a setting turned off by default right? Given that my temp is always so small. Just want to make sure that I am not filling with data somewhere in my system. Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tar Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 yep - off by default - the temp also holds crash data files. It's worth leaving the temp folder open and visible whilst working and seeing how it's used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
