New in the Softimage 2011 Subscription Advantage Pack
You can now use a workgroup_path.data file to specify your workgroups.
At startup, Softimage scans the Factory (installation) and User folders for a workgroup_path.data file, and connects to all the workgroups listed in that file.
The workgroup_path.data file is a plain text file that can contain multiple directory paths. Each path must be added on a separate line and each line must end with a newline character. For example:
C:\Users\blairs\Documents\Support\Workgroups\studioNEST \\server\Softimage\workgroups\Shaders

Nice, but I’m still using my Softimage’s user folder as workgroup for other slaves, cause installing shaders and addons on workgroup, isn’t working as well as on user’s..
