externaldragdrop.py - only works on some machines? not all

[danielsweeney 1]

Hi everyone,

 

has anyone come across this problem before? been setting up a custom script for drag and drop via the externaldragdrop.py file.

Now the weird thing is. it works on some machines and not others.

works on my home machine, a colleagues home machine. one of the machines at work and two other and work is does do anything.

 

Whats seems to be happening is houdini, is not even registering that a file is being attempted to be dropped form an external window. So the .py file cant be called?

I can't seem to find any documentation on this either which does not help.

 

all machines at work are running the same environment setup.

 

any ideas??

 

cheers Daniel

 

Happy new year to all
