What complete and utter dumb arse actually thought - I know lets make it more difficult to for people by designing an interface that uses obscure pictures that are arranged all over the place so people have to spend forever finding the command they want (because they'll need to go to every tab to find the obscure icon they want and hover over each icon to see if it actually performs the command they want). And then to top it off we'll make it near nigh impossible to customise? And then what total complete and utter cluster fuck decided to let the mo…

"Open With..." cannot differentiate paths
by Guest Love4Brandy- 0 replies
- 216 views
Hi, I have two versions of 3DS Max installed (under XP SP3 x86): 2011 and 2012. They were installed into separate directories and both work fine. However, because I installed 2011 after installing 2012 (I found I need 2011 for compatibility), 2011 was the last program to register itself with the Windows shell and so if I double-click on a .max file in the shell it opens in 2011. I figured it would be an easy matter of right-clicking and using "Open With..." It only listed "3ds max" generically and so I clicked on Browse and specifically browsed to the folder where 2012 is installed and picked its executable (3dsmax.exe). However, Windows blatantly ignored my request…
