[ Exclusive ] Override Default File

Hi everyone!

Here's a quick instruction on how you can change your default TD startup file. Why change it? Because I've noticed there's a lot of stuff I do everytime I start a new file which takes unecessary time. You can either use the file I've attached or make your own.

Step 1: Open the Preferences [Edit > Preferences or Alt+P]
Step 2: Change [Startup File Mode] to [Custom File] (see image)
Step 3: Locate the file you'd like to use on [Custom Startup File]
Step 4: Restart TD - now you've got a different startup file!

What I changed about the file: Added some components, made them HD, "./bg" is default op to be viewed, no borders

Hope this is useful. I'll probably update this file sometimes, adjusting it to my needs.

Thank you,
bileam

Not sure where the default file is located. Weird though. Make sure you start TouchDesigner from Windows and don't open a file or click on "New file" inside TD. You only see it then..

Hey, I couldn't figure this out for a while as it wouldn't load the startup file at all, but what helped me is to set the full path in the pref.txt dialog instead of just the name of the toe file. Where does it take the file path from normally?
