wizz · May 2014

Hi.

Is there any way to disable Fcheck in maya ? Im using 2015 now. And its frustrating when clicking edit below texture location texture opens in Fcheck instead in Photoshop

Any idea ? I've delated Fcheck but then maya give me an error

Thanks for help in advance !

Windows -> Setting Prefs - > Rreferences -> Applications. You need to set the path for what application you want.

EDIT: Something I noticed is that the image is not opening in Photoshop (using CS3) and when I took a look at the MEL code, its because Maya returns the filepath as forward slashes but changing it to backslash opens it. So let me know if that happens to you. Or maybe someone else can chime in and maybe something screwed up on my machine/version

no it´s not your machine or ps version. can confirm that it´s broken on my end too. (psCC) have been reading about this at the area too!

Yep, so we are waiting for the fix ?

and i bet this will take half a year...
our workaround is copy the texture path with ctrl+c, go to photoshop->open image(ctl+o) and paste(ctrl+v)..

Go to C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2015\scripts\startup\launchImageApp.mel and make a backup. Then download (save as)this modified version and paste over it. Should work if you set it up correctly. Just substitute forward slashes with backslashes which work correctly for command prompt. Let me know if it works. Worked at my work computer on a trial of 2015.

PS: I had CS3 and whenever i opened photoshop with a file supplied to it pops up camera data not found. Let me know if you get this too. Might be PS version crap. Also this was only tested on windows :S
