Preferences

A new level of categorization has been added to indicate at which level the preferences are saved. Four levels were added:

• User: the preferences are saved in the User profile folders.
• Project: the preferences are saved in /opt/Autodesk/project/<project name>/
• Version: the preferences are saved in /opt/Autodesk/<application version>/
• System: all preferences but the content of the Storage tab are saved in /opt/Autodesk/cfg/
  

The Preferences... entry available from the Flame menu is no longer a submenu listing all the tabs but an option to open the panel.

The Shader Paths tab has been removed. The sysconfig.cfg file must now be used to define where the Matchbox, Lightbox, and Pybox plugins are read from.

System Preferences

The frame and timecode values returned by the Video Framestore Estimate button are now simultaneously displayed below the button. When the available space on the framestore is low, this information will be highlighted in red.

The Audio Monitoring preference has been moved from System Audio to User Player & Viewport since it will still be saved as the user level. All other audio preferences are now stored at the system level.
