(dumb question) how to locate js file

Post by homerjsim » Tue Jul 29, 2014 12:16 pm

Hi
I open an amxd into the editor, I have a js object holding a reference to a valid "foobar.js" file - how can I check its file (OS-level) location from the max editor?

This would seem like a pretty basic thing to have in the inspector, but is not there...

Thanks! and apologies if this is a dumb question, I'm just trying to save some time (checking where <save as> goes as a workaround doesn't work, it goes to the last location accessed)...

Try the jsextensions folder in your Max path...

Thanks but no, I want to be able to manage my JS files' locations (I don't even have or want to be limited to a single 'jsextensions' folder)

Again, this seems like something that should be in the inspector for a JS object.

I thought you were just looking for the actual file.
I save my js's in the Max documents folder. You should be able to save them wherever you want as long as it's the same place as when you save the project.
