Problems adding textures

Hi guys,


I'm can not get ProE to remember thepath to the textures and when I restart ProE, all the textures I've added to the partdisappeared.


ProE shows also an extra Graphic_Library/Texture folderwithin the Graphic_Library/Texture folder when I press the add texture plus (+)(See picture) But the folders aren't there, the show only through this "Open" window.

I have these in my config.pro


pro_texture_library C:\Programmer\PTC\proeWildfire 2.0\graphic-library\textures\
pro_library_dir C:\Programmer\PTC\proeWildfire 2.0\graphic-library\&amp ;nbs p; texture yes
texture_search_path C:\Programmer\PTC\proeWildfire 2.0\graphic-library\textures


The texture that I use are in the Texture folder.


So my problems are:


1) I need ProE to open in the right texture folder, when I want to add one


2) The textures to stay in the part


3) Is it possible that the textures in the texture folder appears in the "Appearance Placement" window without having to press the add button (see green area below)

I created a lot of new material files & texture files in the area you have marked as green. When I was finished, Iclicked the "file/save as..." and saveda copy to my start folder.This created an "appearance.dmt" file. Then I edited my config.pro file for:


global_appearance_file (set to the newly created file in my start folder.) Once I did this, my materials loaded EVERY time!


If anyone knows of a better method let me know, please.
