Hi, which version of Blender are you using? I haven’t updated any of my add-ons in quite a while.

22

It’s 2.93.0, on a mac, also, I’m a bit new with the program…

Hi.
At the start, I want to say that your addon is a live saver :slight_smile:
Unfortunately, in 3.1 I’m getting errors with Viewport to origin in edit mode.

Python: Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Pankracy\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\3.1\scripts\addons\Neltulz_Smart_Frame_Selection\mainOt.py", line 672, in invoke

Would be super cool to get that addon updated for 3.1
Thanks!

Hi! I really like your addon but it doesn’t work on Blender 4.1, do you have any plans to update it?

Hi, unfortunately I haven’t used Blender in quite a long while now. I’m happy to see people are still interested in this add-on. I might poke around in the latest version of Blender, but I can’t make any promises about updating the add-on. I’m pretty busy lately.

However, people are 100% free and encouraged to make forks or derivative works of this add-on and fix bugs or add features as you see fit. Just make sure that you continue using the GNU GPL v3 license and provide attribution to me (Neltulz and/or Neil V. Moore).

Here is a link to the Github page for reference: https://github.com/Neltulz/Neltulz_Smart_Frame_Selection

I see somebody else has already forked my add-on. Perhaps this enables it to be compatible with Blender 4.1? (I haven’t tested this to confirm). Here’s a link to someone else’s forked version of it: https://github.com/jobweek/Neltulz_Smart_Frame_Selection
