OK I just have a quick question.  I’m using the RedrawViewsCallback to do something and its working just fine during my current max session.

However, once I restart max and open up that max file my callback is no longer available.  I have to re-run the script.

So my thought was maybe to do some kind of persistent global but that just doesn’t seem to work either.

I can get my globals in the script to be persistent but is it possible to make the RedrawViewsCallback persistent as well?

So when you restart max and open up this particular file the madness would be retained.

thanks

The “Persistent” parameter to callbacks.addScript would seem to do what you want, unless I’m mistaken. Described in the “General Event Callback System” topic, pretty much right at the top.
If Persistent is True the callback is saved with the scene, otherwise it’s global - always installed until you remove it.

Ok, I see your problem.

What’s needed, I think, is this:-

That will install a callback into the current scene which will trigger once when the scene is loaded.

[script] would contain the code to registerRedrawViewsCallback [fn] and the [fn] itself. This would be essentially the script you’re running manually at present.

The #filePostOpen callback will run once (for that scene only, after you’ve saved the scene), on load, thus performing automatically the script you’re running manually.

Thanks again for your help.

It works well!
