PA_Get4DPreferencesFilename (prefsName)
Parameter | Type | Description | |
prefsName | char * | Pointer to a char buffer | |
Name of the 4D Preferences file |
Description
The routine PA_Get4DPreferencesFilename fills the string pointed to by prefName with the name of the 4th Dimension preference file name (located in the 4D Folder).
NOTE
prefName can contain up to 255 characters.
Be sure to leave enough room for the path. It is a good habit to always use 255 length strings (declared as Str255 under MacOS or char[256] under Windows).
WARNING
Modifying the 4th Dimension preferences file is not recommended. A plug-in should create and use its own preferences file.
Example
Get the full path of the 4D preferences file.
void Get4DPrefsFullPath { char folder[256], pref[256]; PA_Get4Dfolder( folder ); PA_Get4DPreferencesFilename( pref ); strcat( folder, pref ); }
