Vray 7 - VFB - Folder to open VRIMG or open/save VFBL is always the default colorpreset folder?

[Vizioen]

Since the new update, everytime I want to open a vrimg or open or save a VFBL I just created, the default colorpreset folder (C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\VRay3d sMax2025\vfbpresets) is opened instead of the last folder we saved or opened something in.

Before it was already quite annoying that opening or saving a VFBL or opening a VRIMG was either of the recent folders we saved or opened (doesn't matter if it's VBFL or VRIMG) something in, but now it's always this folder.

Can this be fixed please?

It would be nice to have open/save VFBL always the latest folder that was used to open or save the VFBL, seperately from opening a VRIMG, which should also be the last folder we used to open a VRIMG.

Edit: opening the VRIMG doesn't always default to the colorpreset folder (might have been at first but when reloading Max it stopped and now defaults to C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2025). But the VFBL open/save dialogue does.

Edit 2: Saving current Channel or seperate channels will default to the last opened Max file folder. Saving all channels to a single file will default to the last opened folder from the VRIMG loaded or VFBL opened or saved, but opening or saving a VFBL will always open the colorpreset folder. Which will in turn also revert the previous mentioned folder to that one. The dialogue presented will also be a different type of dialogue. This is quite messy and cumbersome to work like this.

While editing my message for some reason the forums give me an error: Error while saving content: %1$s Error information: " 403 error "

Try copying and pasting text, it will give either this error or add some random string to the end and throw an error.

Also some clarification, the VFBL layers I load are color corrections that apply only to that VRIMG that is loaded with masks and the like. These are not color presets or anything like that just composite layers with color corrections etc. These are project related and not for reuse in other images.

Thanks for the report. Logged an improvement request (internal bug-tracker id: VFB-127) on your behalf.

Suggested exactly this.

Saving current Channel or seperate channels will default to the last opened Max file folder.

This happens because those outputs go through the 3ds Max output, rather than our own (as in the V-Ray Raw image file).

Thanks Aleksandar. Would be nice to have it fixed for the next hotfix, becuase this really slows my workflow down.

Le big big sigh, can't believe this isn't fixed in the hotfix. Makes me want to go back to Vray 6, that's how annoying this is.

Hi Chaos, any ETA on a fix for this, will this be in hotfix 2 please? Or is this in a nightly?

We can't give an ETA and there isn't any movement on the case, but a developer is assigned to the task.
