Ok this one is new and I'm not sure why I haven't run into this before. I'm able to set my $JOB variable for the current session of Houdini only, it always defaults back to the location it was launched from next time I open my hip file, so all my file dependencies break.
I noticed if I open the hip file in a text editor there's a set -l JOB and a set -g JOB. The local JOB variable is correct, the -g one sees to be causing problems. Also, I'm not able to edit (change) the JOB path in the Aliases and Variables dialogue. Any clues on what's going on here? Thanks!
I´m having the same problem and my file has the “SET -g JOB” overriding the variable.
Have you found a solution?
