The entry in this input field indicates the standard path to the directory where you will store your custom Python scripts. Each time you want to load a script, RealFlow will guide you to this location. With “…” it is possible to specify this path and “Default” restores the default path.

Here you can see/change the path to the “commandsOrganizer“RealFlowCommands.xml” file. This file contains paths and icons for your custom scripts and is used with RealFlow’s "Commands" menu. Again, “…” is used to edit the path and “Default” loads the standard settings.
The "Commands Organizer Environment Variable"
If you are working in a network then it is usually necessary to provide the information from the “commandsOrganizer“RealFlowCommands.xml” file globally for all RealFlow installations. This way, all users will have access to the same collection of scripts and plugins. Of course, it is possible to store the file anywhere and point to it with the “File” button described above. But, for multiple RealFlow licenses this can be a very tedious task. A much more fashionable way is to define an environment variable:
...
RF_COMMANDS_ORGANIZER_FILE_PATH=/mnt/file_server/realflow/commandsOrganizerRealFlowCommands.xml
When this variable is defined, all RealFlow installations will look for the “commandsOrganizer.dat” file under the path specified there.
The “commandsOrganizer.dat” File
If you have worked with previous RealFlow versions then there will be “commandsOrganizer.dat” file. This file contains information about scripts and plugins attached to the GUI. This file still exists in RealFlow 2014, but has been replaced by a two XML files (RealFlowCommands.xml and RealFlowShelves.xml). When RealFlow 2014 detects the DAT file, a dialogue appears and you will be asked if you want to convert your previous settings and import them.
The “UsrToolbars” from RealFlow versions earlier than 2014 will be converted into shelves, and the attached scripts and plugins are added to these shelves as commands.
