Quote - Why are the updates called Pose2Lux Pro (0.7.2 and 0.8.0)? It's Pose2Lux.py not pose2luxpro.pyc - or did I miss something? My Pro is still 0.63 - and when I open Pose2Lux (I'm using the most recent LuxRender_CVS_20110824_64bit_NoOpenCL.exe) I have this message:
All current development is for Pose2Lux Pro. The current version is 0.8.0.
At some point I got lazy and made the filename pose2lux instead of pose2luxpro. If you want you can rename it to anything you like. I may get even lazier and start calling it p2l.py, but it will still be Pose2Lux Pro.
Since v0.7.0 the script has been open source and so has a .py extension instead of a .pyc extension.
As described in both the readme file and on the Pose2Lux.com site , the settings file format has changed in v0.7. The error you are getting is because 0.7 (and higher) do not understand the 0.6+ settings file format, which it is trying to load automatically. The solution is to delete the old settings file and create a new one. It only takes a few moments.
Hope that helps,
Snarly
EDIT: Oh, there was also a practical reason for using 'pose2lux.py' as the filename. Because v0.7 was not backwardly compatible with v0.63 (as you have discovered) I wanted to be sure the 0.7+ versions didn't overwrite the 0.63 ones, so I used the different filename. Apologies for the confusion it has caused!
