I've got a habit to not touch the 'directories' tab - the changes there will
affect all projects you have on machine and it's easy to come to situation
where different developers will have different compile environments for the
same project. DSPs are under CVS control, so we always know where our
includes and libs come from.

Thanks, I'll try to contact him. For now, however, I'd prefer the 3ds plugin
for landscape texturing, so artist might stay in the same environment all
the way. I'll try to investigate what could be done.
