which resulted in corruption of the userPrefs.mel file.
Apparently this resulted from changes in the help system in Maya.
The quickest fix has been to disable the menu bar help in the three UI files
( nRB_createUI.mel, nRB_deleteControlsUI.mel, nRB_attachSurfacesUI.mel ).
The Help icon on the RoundedBox shelf still works.
If you had previously downloaded these files,
and don't want to go to the trouble of downloading them again,
you can make this fix easily yourself. In each of the UI files, look for the lines:
/* Step 8: Customize the 'Help' menu item text.
============================================ */
setOptionBoxHelpTag( "-absolute "" + $helpFile + """ );
Delete -absolute "" + $helpFile + "" , leaving:
setOptionBoxHelpTag( "" );
I've had feedback from a friend who tested these scripts on a Mac,
so I've added MacOS-X to the list of operating systems it runs under
( though it hasn't been re-tested under Maya 8 on the Mac ).
These are simply MEL scripts,
so there should be no reason why they wouldn't also work for Irix and Linux,
but I haven't tested them on those systems.
