Folder Formats by folder name

Hi guys,

For my 3ds Max work, I have a load of folders called "scenes" where I store my scene files!!! Working on 5-6 projects at the same time, I have folders on my local drive plus a backup on my external hard drive and also on the company server, therefore having to save folder formats for, in this instance, up to 18 folders.

So is it possible, using the wildcard method, to automatically apply my default setting to all "scenes" folders no matter where they reside...?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards

Steve

That's what wildcards are for :slight_smile:

Oh right, you learn something new every day :slight_smile:

I'll have a play around and see what I can come up with.

Cheers Jon.

I had a similar requirement and there was some discussion in another thread. I suspect the answer for you is the same as it was for me. You need a Regex wildcard along the lines of.. scenes[^\]*$ which will pick up things like c:\Mystuff\Movie1\scenes and c:\Mystuff\Movie2\scenes and ignore c:\Mystuff\scenes\FromAnOpera.

Thanks AB, I've got exactly what I want now. Some of my scene folder include sub-folders so I used a similar expression to the "other" thread that you pointed out.

As usual, I don't fully understand the expression but I'll try and figure it out :slight_smile:
