Maya Standalone

[Anonymous]

I'd like to setup some OptionVars and loadPlugin silently using mayapy. However it won't get saved into preferences for future session (not preserved). I tried cmds.savePrefs but error prompted and complas the module is not found in standalone environment? I did include a lot of typical lib path in sys.path. Any hint? Thank you very much

Hi,

I think because it is UI less environment so savePrefs is not there. 

For optionVars, perhaps saveToolSettings could help?

Unfortunately saveToolsSettings doesn't help in preserving the new optionVar. I wish to know the missing environment or startup script that relates to saving preferences to disk, (eg: userPrefs.mel) when we are in standalone mode. When I called cmds.internalVar(userPrefDir=True), it does recognize my user pref directory.

Hi,

Can you give me a sample code so I could check if it is possible? I think most of these functions are designed for GUI mode. For environment settings should be written in Maya.env.

Yours,

I've emailed the sample code. Please let me know if  you found anything. Many thanks!
