Welcome to our Monthly beginner’s thread. This forum topic is used to capture all beginner questions (and answers) in one place. We start a new one every month on 1st of the month and lock the previous one.
We if you feel your question deserves it’s own topic in one of the existing categories, then by all means go for it and create on. We’ll also try our best to split out any interesting questions to their own topics when they warrant a bigger conversations.
@mustafa_jafar i have a suggestion: maybe dedicated topics for each of a addon would be nice because if someone need info about kitsu or huidini etc or ask some qestions or suggest an idea about dedicated addon user doesnt have special place to do it in forum.
For example i would like to discuss davinci resolve conform workflow and have no place to do it not creating separate topics and making mess.
On forums, we use tags to help you find all the posts related to a specific topic. Each AYON addon has its own tag, making it easier for you to find information about each one.
There are some dedicated topics for some addons, which are typically created when there’s a demand for them. If you see the need for a new topic, don’t hesitate to take the lead and start one
you can also suggest new tags
Create a new topic if you can’t find a topic. Honestly, creating separate topics is less of a mess than putting all unrelated comments into one topics. We could always merge topics if needed.
Anyone who has had issues with AYON launcher and not having permissions to /mnt/share ? It makes no sense for me personally to use /mnt/ in the linux filesystem as it’s a root folder but it could make sense I guess if someone can enlighten me haha
Tip: Easy access, use shortcut S+S (type S twice quickly) and then click on Anatomy Presets tab.
And note that an existing project will not be updated along. Anatomy settings are stored in the project on creation, so you may need to update the anatomy settings for an existing project as well.
Right, for me it’s mainly a question of why it actually uses /mnt/ as a path since the code of the AYON launcher does not run in sudo either. If there’s a suggestion for a better place than /mnt/, then I am welcome to hear it. Since /home/{$USER}/ relates to the issue in the comment before as well.
Not sure I understand your question. Are we discussing whether the ‘default value’ for it is sensible? Or did you change the anatomy settings to a path that you do want to use but it’s still touching /mnt? If so, you either misconfigured or there’s a bug.
Did you end up changing the actual project’s anatomy?
If we are discussing why is it that value, then:
As far as I know, you don’t need sudo access to access a mounted drive. Your user just needs permission to access the path.
Why is it the default? I think it stems from the fact that usually productions in a studio occur on a mounted network drive - so that’s why that’s the default value.
I did not end up changing the project’s value. I oddly realised that I did not mount my harddrive into the folder so I could not reach it :,) silly me making minor mistakes…
Thanks for explaining the default reason I feel like that makes more sense, the way you explain it.
Your user just needs permission to access the path.
