It would be nice. Specially Ockham's. I wish somebody would put together a page like the one for Dr. Geep's tutorials.

Also wouldn't it be nice to be able to make a Toolbar with icons for your most used phyton scripts where you could tell Poser to display this toolbar everytime it opens. I know we have the Phyton toolbox but i'm thinking something like Photoshop's toolbar, more windows like.

I only wish someone could explain to me (in VERY basic terms) how to put your existing scripts on those buttons in the Python window and have them STAY there after you've closed Poser...

To permanently set the buttons use Notepad to edit the file RuntimePythonPoserScriptsmainButtons.py . Remember to save in PY format. Its not complicated, just open that file in Notepad and you'll see what I mean.

How many buttons can you have open? Thanks, Marque

how do you save the in .py format? Is there a script that will save the changes to the button menu?

Look at my one-picture tutorial. ockhamsbungalow.com/Python/manual.jpg

The .py file is just a plain text file. If you're using a word processor other than Notepad, force the file to save in plain text format. Also, Notepad normally puts a .TXT extension on every filename, so you have to specify the name fully.

In Wordpad I often save with the file name in quotation marks .... "fileName.py" or "newFigure.cr2" This forces it to save in my designated extension.

Thanks for the replies. Now I wonder if I can have more than 10 buttons by adding lines to mainButtons.py?

Thanks PhilC I was about to try it myself.

If there were a "Poser Hall of Fame," I think Phil C and ockham should be the first to be voted in. Since you're both here, I just wanted to say "Thanks!" I use your utilities and creations all the time. -jjsemp

Easiest way to add more buttons is thru nesting. Copy mainbuttons.py to a new name, e.g. mybuttons1.py, and use one button in mainbuttons.py to call mybuttons1.py, which in turn can call up to 9 new .py scripts in buttons 1 thru 9. For button 10 put in a call back to mainbuttons.py. Placing nested calls in each of the original 10 buttons will give you 90 scripts within just 1 level of nesting.

Since Poser only allows 10 buttons per page, my Main.py is is just an index to 9 additional pages - each of those pages has the last button set to reload the Main.py. I also group my scripts by function on each page, and some of those like Lighting Scripts have sub-pages.

Great tip, that nesting stuff. Thanks a lot.

Or... by Powerdials from DAZ3D. I really don't use the Powerdials, haven't really figured them out. But the Python button manager is worth the price of admission. I have all my Ockham scripts under one button, my DAZ scripts under another button, EC Scripts, etc. And it took about 2 minutes to do it. Of course, you can do it the tried and true manual way.
