INITIALIZE doesn't load default document and LIGHTBOX appearance

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Any solution for this?

If I hit INITIALIZE then Zbrush loads another DOC which is not the DOC I made for STARTUP DOCUMENT. It switches to different backroundcolor and size/ratio - it only affects the DOC - not the UI

Also another thing - in PREFERENCES you can click on LIGHTBOX OPEN ON LAUNCH - but if switched off - it still appears every new LAUNCH and after INITIALIZE.

It would also be cool if LIGHTBOX would save the sizesetting and how many rows you had it last time. With many folders it is annoying always having to resize and scroll.

Sorry for these tiny issues - I know there are more important issues to solve but it’s bothering me and I’m starting to use ZBrush on a daily basis - so even those tiny issues can become annoying at some time :slight_smile:

This will close Lightbox at startup. If your on PC, add the following line to your ZBrush 4R3/ZScripts/DefaultZScript.txt file in between //startup and [pd]

[If,1,[IPress,Preferences:Lightbox:Lightbox]]

If your on a Mac, see this post.

edit: If your on a Mac and the solution in that link doesn’t work then leave a post in that thread saying it doesn’t work.

Thanks for the help - but it didn’t work - it’s still opening the Lightbox…

Then you did something wrong.

Hello,

I have the same problem. I just got ZBrush yesterday (4R3). Brand new install along with a clean install of Win 7. Lightbox always opens regardless of the preferences settings.

I added the line in the text file. Now, regardless of the lightbox setting in the prefs, ligthbox never opens. So obviously there’s something wrong.

I have the same problem. Brand new installation of 4R3 and a 1 day old clean install of Win 7 Ultimate x64. Regardless of the preferences settings, lightbox always opens. If I add that line you suggested, then ligthbox will never open at startup regardless of the preferences button setting.

That line doesn’t fix the button in Preferences > Lightbox. It just closes Lightbox at startup. That button in Preferences has been broken since Lightbox was first introduced.

Okay, I can live with the LIGHTBOX appearance - the line just does not close the lightbox at startup - but what bothers me more is that INITIALIZE doesn’t load up my default document which I created as startup document. After hitting INITIALIZE it opens up a different ratio with other background coler and gradient…

Any idea how to fix this?
