i am recently using a compiled blender installation on linux ,
but i contrast to my windows installation i have some troubles with it .
the main problem is probably that blender starts in fullscreen and with certain
window properties , that make adjustments impossible . i am stuck in that blender window
until i shut the program down (i use xfce4.4 as GUI) !
(i am also wondering now if there are no global blender preferences like most programs have - because i didn’t see anything so far ).
next i would want to import my profile(?) , well that interface look , that i have created on
my windows blender . but there seems no profile management and i don’t know which files are important and where they need to be stored.
Can’t help you with your linux problems but to save a Theme goto your win box and File >> Export >> Save Current Theme. That’ll save a .py file that you can open in a Text window in linux and run with Alt-P.
For User Prefs either click on the far-left icon of any window header and find User Prefs or drag down the bottom of the top header bar with left-drag.
Hello
I’ll “take” the Linux part!
I guess that you start Blender clicking over an icon?!
If yes, right-click over the same icon, probably there’s a “properties” item in the menu
that give you access to the “command line” that launches blender, something
more or less like this: “/usr/bin/blender”
Just add the -w option to start blender in windowed mode ( blender -w)
Bye
thanks for your help , the -w switch solved the window issue , but i still couldn’t manage the screen import . i noticed that i don’t have that (or similiar) “file>>export>>save current theme” option . currently version 2.43 is installed (im looking forward to 2.45rc , but i cannot even download the sources) , so i guess that option was added in 2.44 ? i also don’t remember to have any other theming options than adjust the SCREEN look . i checked already some installation folders , but there was nothing that i could associate with the myview.001 datablock .
thanks , i will have a look , although i am quite experienced already . i upgraded to version 2.44 now (linux) , but still i can’t find any theming or profile management option . i still would appreciate to know a way , how to import selfmade screen layouts or generally user settings … greetings
