While poser.TempLocation() is eminently suitable for my temporary pose file (which was a workaround for an olde Poser bug, mentioned at the bottom of this post), it is totally unsuitable for the data files. I'm (and I assume others are too) in the habit of clearing crap frommy system every now and then, and 'temp' folders and suchlike usually go first.
So I'm really wondering two things:
Where is the best place to put my non-temporary datafiles ? (Remember that I have to be able to pick up the path from a PoserPython call, so that seems torestrict it to poser.AppLocation())
How did SnarlyGribbley do it for the configuration data in EZSkin2 ?
(N.B. The thread title "How do you avoid UAC problems writing to poser.AppLocation() subfolders ?" was based on the assumption that this is where everybody who writes scripts requiring datafiles puts them)
The 3Dcheapskate* occasionally posts sensible stuff. Usually by accident. And it usually uses Poser 11, with units set to inches. Except when it's using Poser 6 or PP2014, or when its units are set to PNU or something else.
