jd - this is a different problem than AMUCFS. I fixed that problem. The old problem was that on certain versions of Poser, the Runtime:Python folder is in the list of searchable places, and on others it is not. My mistake was to tell people to use that folder, when in fact it is not universally findable.

But vssMainButtons.py has code in it to add its own location to that list of findable python folders. Unfortunately, by separating vssMainButtons.py from the rest of vss, you broke that feature. Fortunately, I still look in the main runtime and it found it there. I know it found it because you see the buttons. If it could not find it, the buttons would not be there. Instead you would get a Python Exception.

Meanwhile, we have this new issue, which is that when I loaded the buttons with path names, they are somehow not right on your Mac and some other Mac's. Not all, just some.

If you would like to help me debug this, here's how.

I've uploaded a special copy of vssui.py into my google file cabinet. It is here:

http://sites.google.com/site/bagginsbill/file-cabinet

Go to that cabinet and download the vssui.py file there. Make sure you replace the one you have already with this new one.

The new one will print some extra information for me when you first execute the script. It will display this in the Python console window. The information is going to include the actual path that VSS thinks should be used to find the VSS macro files, which are supposed to be connected to those buttons.

Please copy and paste what it says here, so I can see what the heck the MAC software did wrong with the paths.

People on the PC should never see this problem. I believe also, that Poser 6 on MAC does not have this problem. Not sure.

Whoever has the problem, if you want to help debug it, please try it.

That vssui.py does not do anything different or better - it just displays more info for me.

After several of you do this, others can stop - no need to fill this thread up with tons of duplicate information.

However, if there is even one Poser 7 MAC person who does NOT see this problem, then please run the new script and tell me what you see. Because, if you do NOT see the problem, it will tell me what paths actually do work.

If you go to the file cabinet and do NOT see that file, then you can assume I don't want anybody using it anymore.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
