I "wrapped" the Scene Selector program and uploaded it ("Wrapped?? What the @&^$% is that???")

Visual Basic programs require some dependencies in order to run. Some tools, such as VB Power Wrap, add those dependencies to the Visual Basic executable, so no setup is required.

"VB-PowerWrap is a new utility from MoonLight Software that allows developers to distribute their programs without the host of various OCX's and DLL's. VB-PowerWrap can scan a VB project and wrap the appropriate dependency files and create a self-contained file for distribution. "

Anyway I created a setup program to install the application in a folder.

Here you go, Realsnake!

Drop these two into your AS 'tool' folder and add this line where ever you want in the '_tool_list.txt':

Code: Select all

button  syn_scene_selector  ...

I have no way to test the bit for Mac/Linux. Let me know if it doesn't work, or you know the 'path' I need.

v_aviles,
I hope you don't mind I used your icon for the AS button.

Synthsin75, thank you very much, this is great! But, the "scene selector" opens the scene in a new window. Is there a way to open it in the current window?

By the way, I remember another app; MOREN, "Moho Rendering Engine". Having been made the appropriate changes, I think, this app also can be launched inside AS through this script...

Sorry, there's no way to get around Windows opening a new instance of AS. That is OS behavior. I think the default behavior of Mac doesn't allow multiple instances, so it would open in the same instance on Mac.

Any external app can be opened with this. You'd just need to change the scripts name (internally as well) and change the path to the app you want opened. (And add another button for it in the tool list)

If I get the time, I guess I could make one script that could open several apps. Each time you hit the button you'd just have to select which app you're wanting to open.

MoRen, Panel Arranger, Papagayo, Scene Selector... Let me know if anyone thinks of any more to put on the list to access with a single button script in AS.

(If and when I get the time to do it

)

Thanks, synthsin75!

I hope you don't mind I used your icon for the AS button.

Of course I don't mind that you used the icon!

Sorry, this application is for Windows only...

My resolution for this year: learn to program in LUA...

Here's the multi-app script, Chucky.

v_aviles,

I forgot this was a Windows only app. I made the open script to work on Mac also anyway.

A new upgrade of the Scene Selector program is available.

New features:
- Duplicate or delete AS files
- Delete the files on the backup folder(s)

Preferences screen, in which you can:

- Turn on/off the automatic backup creation
- Allow the program to create backup sub-folders using the date as the name of the folder.

For example:

Backups
- Bkp_03/27/09
  Bkp_03/28/09
  Bkp_03/29/09

Thanks to Ajahn Kusalo for all the suggestions!

Every time I try to change the folder in the program, it gives me the "run-time error 52" and crashes!
How can I fix it?

P.S.
What is the right path to start Scene Selector from the button on Anime Studio?
