PA_Get4DPreferencesFilename

version 2003

PA_Get4DPreferencesFilename (prefsName)

The routine PA_Get4DPreferencesFilename fills the string pointed to by prefName with the name of the 4th Dimension preference file name (located in the 4D Folder).

prefName

Be sure to leave enough room for the path. It is a good habit to always use 255 length strings (declared as Str255 under MacOS or char[256] under Windows).

Modifying the 4th Dimension preferences file is not recommended. A plug-in should create and use its own preferences file.

Get the full path of the 4D preferences file.

      PA_Get4Dfolder( folder );
      PA_Get4DPreferencesFilename( pref );
      strcat( folder, pref );
