BlenderTools - Conversion Helper design

[SiSL]

May be instead of deleting "Test" folder entirely, cleaning all inside "deleting all files / and folders if there is a Test directory" would be better solution to keep "shortcuts/pins" for Windows and such...


If (there is folder) -> delete all ingredients inside it, rather than delete "TEST" itself
if (there is not) -> create

Just a minor detail, thank you

@SiSl: I think that shortcuts will be just fine if folder will be only temporarily missing. Please try that by yourself I don't have Windows by hand right now so I can't try:
1. create "mod/test"
2. create your shortcut and try to use it
3. delete "mod/test"
4. create "mod/test" again
5. try to use your shortcut again

Just tested... It gets unpinned as soon as I delete Test folder from Fast Access / Recents menu Not talking about hardcode *.lnk" files though...

That's why I was pointing out

[50keda]

Well I will have to disappoint you, just empty the directory is not an option I believe. Because I have to take into account that someone might at some point change packing to zip file, meaning folder mod should be gone at that moment... So to prevent that I have to remove directory every time packing with same mod name is triggered.

PS: did you consider to upgrade to some better file browser than windows default?

[SiSL]

I'll find a way... There are always options in UX

Thanks anyway

May be a request to bring back "checkbox" for "Clean RSCS folder" for everytime?

[50keda]

@SiSL: maybe it's time for you for some reading ? https://github.com/SCSSoftware/BlenderT ... od-packing -> auto clean?

[SiSL]

Yeah, thought that's only "when packaging"

Anyway, since there will be folder copy after Monday, I think that will cover it.

[50keda]

Ah you were using CONVERT SCS PROJECT... mhm you are right in this case it's not covered But you can always click CLEAN RSRC before hiting convert and that's it. However I removed that option because I think people will rather use pack converted data.

Sorry, I have install ConversionTools2.5 and BlenderTools1.1
but I cant find the >>>Pack Mod<<< button in Conversion Helper, only shows "Clean Converted data"

Please help, Thanks

This was known error in Blender 2.79 and using older bledner tools.
So make sure you installed blender tools 1.11
