John: The way we do it in production is to keep each project and it's files in a separate directory on the network. That way, I know that for client X, all his maps, projects, meshes, etc. are in one place and can be easily backed up. It also makes it easier to remember what is where! Greg Pyros

Greg, I do the same idea with my directory structure to ensure I know what pieces are used together, when and to keep clients files seperate from other clients. But, that is not my point. When a client looks at a fli file and wants to know what 'settings' i used, I want an integrated way to tell them: What rendering method was used What anti-aliasing option was used ….all the info on the "render" dialog box. Plus Scene info about the materials Plus use your imagination….. It stinks to have to keep a diary of renderings/materials/projetcs either on paper or in a seperate file. This feature would allow people to be more productive within the enviornment. -John
