Lightbox : Folder Shortcuts not working in ZBrush 4R8 on Mac

Hi,

I am having a unique issue with folder shortcuts in lightbox.
I tried placing a folder-shortcut (alias on mac) in the ZProjects folder in <ZBrush 4R8>/ZProjects Directory.
However, I do not see them in Project tab on lightbox.

I even tried creating shortcuts automatically using the “Auto Create Shortcuts” folder while saving my projects to folders on disk.
I do see the shortcut (alias) gets created the ZProjects folder, but does not appear in lightbox.

I even tried cleaning up all configs and as last resort, reinstalled ZBrush (making sure to cleanup ZBrush folders in Applications and /users/Shared/ZBrushData folder. However, that didn’t help.

I compared to ZBrush 4R7 version, and folder shortcuts do appear correctly in that case.

In addition, I distinctly remember seeing folder shortcuts the first time I tried in ZBrush 4R8. It worked for a while and the application crashed once trying to generate thumbnails. The folder shorts did not work in the app since then.

  1. Has anybody else seen this problem, or know a way of fixing this?
  2. Is there some other data/cache I can cleanup to make folder shortcuts work again?

thanks

See this thread.
