Problem summary Setting Mari Preference Paths via Python on Startup creates empty or 0 values in the ShaderNetworkManager section of the Mari config
When the Grid High and Width are set to 0, this then causes Mari to crash when you enable the Grid in the Node Graph
This happens when setting different preferences like, 'Data/Autosave/autosaveInterval', 'Node Graph/Grid/gridHeight' and 'Paths/Environments/environmentDirectories'
Customer reported version mari.6.0v1
Customer reported platform
Steps to reproduce
1) Remove your Mari<version>.ini/.conf file from your Mari directory
2) In your Mari/Scripts directory, make a new file called test.py
3) In the test.py file, add the following code and save the file:
5) Open Edit>Preferences>Node Graph and check the Grid Height and Grid Width, they will be set to 0.
6) Open your new Mari<version>.ini/.conf file and check the [ShaderNetworkManager] group, many values will be empty and gridHeight and gridWidth will be 0:
*This also happens when setting other preferences, for example using either of these two set of Python code:
Expected behaviour For the default values to be set correctly:
Actual behaviour Incorrect values are set, which in the case of gridHeight and gridWidth, can cause a crash when enabling the Grid in the Node Graph
Workaround Unknown.
