Hey all,
After downloading BonusTools, Tinytools, Zentools, etc.. my scripts folder is becoming unwieldy. The pain came in when I wanted to delete an old version of zentools (which are all in the same folder as the rest). But as soon as I organize my scripts into a subfolder, maya no longer sees them and I cant call them through the command line.

I'm on a mac using maya2008. So, all my scripts are in /users/shared/Autodesk/maya/2008/scripts

I've heard of the maya.env file, but mine is empty and I wouldn't know what to put in there to see my subfolders.

Has anyone been through this before?

in the maya help, do a search for maya.env and have a look at the very first result. You basically just need to set the USER_SCRIPT_PATH variable. There is an example in the help page... ;)
