Hello!

In the selectFile function, I would like to add some favorite directories.
It is possible to add it manually with the + button (Add selected to Favourites).

Is it possible to add it automatically with some environment variables? or other?

I hope I am clear enough

François

Yes, create a ‘jump.pref’ file in your home houdini folder containing a list of paths or env vars that are paths.

for example:

So I found this file in mydocs\Houdini17.5.
Could I put it somewhere in a custom path?

Is there any other way?

I think prefs can be elsewhere in the houdini_path, but I think they have to be suffixed with .nosave to be used. I've not tried to put the jump list anywhere but my own prefs folder, as it's a personal preference.

Thanks! I will try that and tell you the result

If you can start Houdini with a custom package, it will have its own houdiniX.Y/ root folder. Putting the jump.pref there works as well.
