I didn't even know there was a Python console. Thanks.

Hmmm... just been trying this at home, and it all works fine!

Must be some lockdowns on the OS at work.

Does anyone here know how 3d coat communicates or 'watches' the folders for importing automatically? I can ask for this to be unblocked if it's a firewall issue

LW applink makes i/o operation with files in next folders:

C:/Users/xxx/Documents/
C:/Users/xxx/Documents/3D-CoatVX/Exchange/
C:/Users/xxx/Documents/3D-CoatVX/Exchange/LightWave/
../ProjectName/Objects/ - in project folder

If you have custom OS setting or restricted permit for write/read this might cause error. I'll submit new version in Monday, with full debugging info in cases like that..

Here's a question. Does it actually look at C:/Users/xxx/Documents/ or does it look at the My Documents link? Somehow my "library" links like My Documents, My Pictures, etc., got corrupted and I just get an error when I try to open them, however if I manually go in via C:/Users it work fine. This has caused issues with a number of programs like Win Media Player. I sent a model to 3DC from LW, worked on the UV, painted a little, and sent it back to LW. In LW I didn't get any textures loaded at all, but the new UV info was there so I know the model was updated.

Applink looks at 'My Documents' folder, and gets all paths by using system calls. If your change 'My Documents' path, it will be taken correctly.

In general, if you have any textures they have to be there. I use the same LWO object for i/o operations. This guaranties me that all textures will be in '/Project/Objects' folder and texture paths will be relative to LWO file.

Looking at the Console it appears as if it does load the correct folder, C:/Users/Phil/Documents My problem folders are Desktop/Libraries/Documents
