no spaces in folder name

Hi all
- I can't drag out to the Max2Octane.script to the toolbar. So I start it directly.
- I can't define a Project Path, why?
here in the script is probably the bug:
)
on btn_pPath pressed do
(
-- getMypPath()
pPath = getSavePath()
if ((pPath == undefined) OR (pPath == "")) do ( return false )
if (substitutestring pPath " " "_")!=pPath then messagebox "No spaces in folder name" else
(
edt_pPath.text = pPath
setIniSetting myIni "ProjectPath" "value" pPath
)
)
Ever when I try to define a path, it says: no spaces in folder name...
What means that?
Please help me.

I've got the same problem too, whenever I try to create a new folder on the desktop to put the project path, It always ended up with error message " No spaces in folder name" so, i cannot locate it. I use windows 7 pro, 3ds max 2010 and MAX2Octane 1.022f.
Any hints to resolve this?

not sure as i did'nt write the script, but try not to store any scene stuf/project stuff in paths/directories/files with whitespace in them.
it's always good practice to do that anyways.

INSTALL:
Extract in max root folder, restart max.
Find the script in customize, under category max2octane.
If you cant drag it to a toolbar, make sure you locate the script under the toolbars tab
And for the no spaces in folder name: make sure your path has no spaces. Example: "c:/octane/project"

ok, i can't find the "toolbars tab". What is the name exactly of the folder, where I can put in.

EXTRACT IT IN MAX ROOT FOLDER. Thats all you need to do!
if you have winrar installed:
Drag it with your
right mousebutton into your max root folder, LET GO of the button
and choose
extract here
The "toolbars tab" is in max main menu under customize.

I use the german version. Could that be the reason?

Or you are using max design...
So what did not work? You can't put the script to a toolbar?
Follow the instructions in this video:

When you run the script, and it stops with an error, copy the error (the text in red)
from the listener (F11) and paste it here.
