Now uses 'Application Data/Blender Foundation/Blender' instead of old "Not A Number" dir. - Updated windows installer to make this change transparent for the users. It copies /.blender to the new location and displays a short message to advise them of the change (http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~aphex/installer_msg.jpg). - Installer also includes fix for opening blend files from explorer (patch provided by Valentin Ungureanu (vung) - thanks!) Note to CVS users on Win2k/XP: Although blender will continue to work without changes, you should ideally copy the /.blender dir to <app data>/Blender Foundation/Blender for the sake of correctness :)
Welcome to the fun world of open-source. For instructions on building and installing Blender, please see the file named INSTALL. ---------------------.Blanguages and the .blender directory--------------------- The .blender directory holds various data files for Blender. In the 2.28a release those are the .Blanguages file containing a list of translations, the translations themselves and a default ttf font. Blender checks for the presence of this directory in several locations: - the current directory - your home directory - On OSX, the blender bundle is also checked - On Windows, the installation dir is checked. If you get a 'File ".Blanguages" not found' warning, try to copy the .blender dir to one of these locations (your home directory being recommended). -------------------------------------Links-------------------------------------- Getting Involved: http://www.blender.org/docs/get_involved.html Community: http://www.blender3d.org/Community/ Main blender development site: http://www.blender.org/ The Blender project homepage: http://projects.blender.org/projects/bf-blender/ Documentation: http://www.blender.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=documentation&file=index Bug tracker: http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?atid=125&group_id=9&func=browse Feature request tracker: http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?atid=128&group_id=9&func=browse
