Changing flavor of Houdini launched on "Open scene in Houdini" #117

When I click "Open scene in Houdini" from the top menu, it always launches Houdini FX. I usually use Houdini Core, so when I use that option I end up hogging two licenses.

The plugin settings have an option for selecting a custom location for Houdini, but that only takes in the bin folder. Either having the ability to select the executable, or even a separate FX/Core/Indie selector would be nice. (Or checking if a license is already in use, and launching the matching executable)

We also would like this. We have a limited number of FX licenses, so would like to require people to consciously launch FX. Most houdini engine things we do only require Core.

Hi, Tomorrow's daily build of the plugin will have a new plugin setting that lets you choose the executable to use when opening session sync / hip files. (houdini / fx /core / indie)
