Thanks for the tip

Anyone got in running properly? Auto install didn't work, no priviledges etc.. After installing manually, it quickly updates the model inside an open SI, but after that always starts a new instance of Softimage with an empty scene.

The auto-install gave me the same error, but after manually installing the .addon everything is working as expected. No multiple instance if Softimage.

Same here. Autoinstall is being blocked no matter what. Manual goes smoothly, though.

Did just a few quick tests. Works perfectly so far! :ymapplause:

Big, massive thanks to the author!!! ^:)^
