Hi!
I made a full program with user friendly interface and no need to install any additional stuff. It is working out of the box (on Windows at least ).
Oh, I was just suggesting you might collaborate or something. After a few minor tweaks, I got the previous working on my ArchLinux install. I don’t require a GUI, but other people would certainly appreciate one, which you did. Since both are done in python, I figure it wouldn’t be that difficult to put the code together and insure cross platform, perhaps make a few improvements? Was just a thought.
Hi! Sad to hear that program crashes
Did a pretty dumb mistake in code. Thanx for reporting, really appreciate it!
Please, download the latest version with fix:
I used it yesterday and it all went well but today trying to update again and after a successful download it crashed while extracting and now if I try to run it all I get is this window error:
Hi!
First you need to delete a folder it tried extract blender to.
Then try to update again, I will stay in touch until then.
Sorry for making trouble with that program to you
I programmed this app for my internal purposes and share it as is, so I don’t really plan anything, but thanx for advice! If I will have time I will take a look at this option.
