Problem with the script window and Fiber2.03

Support Basics & Interface
1

I followed the suggestion for putting this script on the script menu of blender 2.34. I found those instruction at
http://www.telusplanet.net/public/kugyelka/blender/tutorials/fiber/intro.html

Here is the top part of the edited fiber2.03GUI.py.

#!BPY

“”" Registration info for Blender menus: <- these word are ignored
Name: ‘Fiber Script v2.03’
Blender: 224
Groups: ‘Misc’
Tip: ‘Create fibers.’
#Fiber Generator V2.03 - May 24th, 2004
#Created by Alan Dennis (RipSting)

I press the update menu button in the scipts menu window,but still fiber2.03 does not show up on the Misc menu. The script runs just fine from a text window by pressing ALT-P. But this is not the first script that I have found that does not show up on the menu even though the script menu instruction are in the .py file.

Is this a bug in 2.34?

The example posted by IanWill:

#!BPY 

""" 
Name: 'Wavefront OBJ' 
Blender: 232 
Group: 'Export' 
Tooltip: 'Export selected mesh object to &lt;objectname&gt;.obj' 
"""

The only discrepancies I see are Groups and Tooltips.
There is a Python script which does the navigation and it’s particular about the directory named “Scripts” and where to find it. It must be the same one that holds all the im/export scripts and the rest that show up in the menus of the script window. It must also be the same one that’s in the filepaths.

Did you do the update from the Scripts window or in the filepath?

I pressed “Update Menu” from the script window. I never have had to touch the file path. I suppose that means within blender in the info window and not the python Path.

In the Info Window, in the Python Filepath are 2 little buttons; use the left-hand one.

#!BPY 
""" Registration info for Blender menus: &lt;- these word are ignored

Ok, a couple things need to be changed…

Groups: -> Group:
Tip: -> Tooltip:
and add “”" at the end.

You should end up with:
