Change default blank file view settings

Hello,

I have read the following post, and though my question is similar it's not the same.

I would like to know if it is possible to have the settings of the grasshopper's default blank file (the one you get when you create a new document) changed, specifically the view settings:

preview mesh settings set to high quatily,
document preview settings changed (colors and alpha values of selected and non-selected objects)
...

Thanks again.

You can change the default preview materials assigned to new documents in the Preferences but the mesh settings are currently not settable.

I also just added Template file support since it was fairly easy. The template can have any settings and even objects (such as copyright messages for example) defined. If a Template is defined then the Default Template Materials are ignored:

Wow that was fast! It's great.

Cheers to Charles for the suggestion.

Hi David,

I'm updating our Rhino/Gh deployment actions and login script. Although Gh now allows a template location to be set in Preferences, I cannot see any settings files or registry keys that store this information outside Rhino/Gh, meaning that I can't auto-fill the Template File path field for other users.

Do you have any thoughts as to how this could be accomplished? Thank you for your time.

Best,

Brian
