Is it possible to change the default library file paths?
I'd like to move "Documents/Max 8/..." to "Documents/Audio/Max 8/..." to make things a bit neater. When I tried to do this and then reopened Max, it created a new folder in "Documents/Max 8/..." The file preferences don't seem to have an option to change default file paths, only to add new ones.
Is it possible to change the default file paths? I'm assuming then that the answer is no, but I haven't found a definitive answer anywhere.
Thanks.
Answer is no.
default paths are set fixed in max executable.
You could try to hack that, but your new path would have to fit into
same number of letters as original.
~/Documents
~/MyMaxPath
but you would need to check ALL parts of Max app that uses default paths
to read/write files.
I would say ... better leave it as is
just move stuff to the new location should also work? no need to unlink the default paths.
