These are search locations added by LightWave that are scanned when you try to load anything.
For example, if you try to load an object, LightWave looks in C:\LightWave\Objects
first. If you??™re on a Mac, it??™ll search Applications:\NewTek\LightWave. It looks in
C:\LightWave because that is where the content directory has been set. If you were to set
your content folder in your preferences to D:\Somewhere\on\my\harddrive, LightWave
would automatically change the entries in this list:
DirectoryType Scenes D:\Somewhere\on\my\harddrive\Scenes
DirectoryType Objects D:\Somewhere\on\my\harddrive\Objects
DirectoryType Surfaces D:\Somewhere\on\my\harddrive\Surfaces
DirectoryType Images D:\Somewhere\on\my\harddrive\Images
DirectoryType Previews D:\Somewhere\on\my\harddrive\Previews
DirectoryType Motions D:\Somewhere\on\my\harddrive\Motions
LightWave takes the content directory setting and adds those subdirectories. If they
don??™t exist, LightWave uses only the content directory you set, in this case
D:\Somewhere\on\my\harddrive.
The point is, LightWave expects to find these subdirectories within the content directory.
