Save UI button

[nuno_moser]

If the "Save customize configuration on Exit" tick is enabled on the preferences window all the time, every time 3ds max is closed, it saves all windows positions.

Because I like to have the UI windows always in the same position, I have this option off, but from time to time I do some twiking on my UI and to save changes I have to do the following:

1. customize > preferences > turn on "Save customize configuration on Exit" 

2. Exit 3ds max

3. customize > preferences > turn off "Save customize configuration on Exit" 

Instead of this, it would save much time if there was a button on main screen with just a "Save UI"

Isn't that what the 'Save Default State' button in the Workspace Manager does?

However, I just noticed that the UI layout gets saved even when 'Save UI Configuration on Exit' is turned off in the Preferences.

Must be a bug.

I think the issue that you are describing here is a combination of a bug and a bit of a workflow issue and I agree that it is a problem. The real solution here is to have a more robust and predictable workspace and preferences system.

Archiving it, but looking into how to roll this into possibly future work for workspaces.

Hi @Tupaia

Thanks for the information. To be honest I've never explored much the Workspace Manager.

De nada!

We all have our routines, and unexplored parts of the software... I just recently  discovered how freely the Ribbon can be customized. That's some powerful configuration dialog there!
