Autodesk took away our selectable users during project launch.
So I finally went ahead and made a custom launcher for macOS , should work on linux with some adjustments but untested , dont want to deal with roaming profiles and Active directory? me neither.
super barebones stuff, but should get you up and running rather fast
what it does:
→ Scans all installed flame versions and lists them with the newest installed version on top
→ Lists all available users and sets “DL_USER_HOME”
→ launches flame in a terminal so you can see logs if it crashes
→ Can be expanded to set more environment variables
it saves the last used user and flame version to your OS accounts library so it will always default back to it.
How to make this work for your studio:
- Change the line 23 in the .py file (open with a code editor or… textedit) self.user_profiles_path = “/Volumes/stone/central/user_profiles” to a folder containing subfolders for all your users
Step2: create the subfolders mentioned above /my/profiles/location/finn/flame and /my/profiles/location/bernd/flame
Step3: click on launchflame.command
use a single word nickname for the subfolders, I do not
think my code support “the Master of the Universe” subfolder names…
you can make that a location on your NAS of course.
You can now copy your own local profile (~/Library/preferences/Autodesk/flame) to that location or just start flame with that user home and flame will create a brand new profile.
if this gains more traction and people want to use it I am happy to throw it in the portal or make the repo on github public, just lmk, hope it helps
