bloodboy is experiencing the inability to make the VSS buttons do anything with Mac P7 SR2. I sort of remember IsaoShi had this problem, and we were working on a solution, but SR3 fixed it.

bloodboy is on the German version, and there may or may not be an SR3 for that. Also, some people say SR3 causes other problems for them, unrelated to VSS, so I don't want to force him to use it.

But I can't for the life of me remember what the workaround was. Does anybody have it?

ugh, I even had to do this, but I've long since been on SR3, even though it's slower than SR2.

Does opening up the "package" contents and placing the script inside there sound right? Maybe is was a path problem.

I would advise against editing poser pkg contents (see att img fr p8 pkg contents) but maybe p7 has wrong version in pythonextensions.

maybe bloodboy needs to put vss runtime into poser7/downloads and then add said runtime;
deep search in prefs.  I don't have p7 sr2 installed.

I was able to get the VSS "Synchronize" script to work in SR1 by selecting "Run Python Script" from the menu and then choosing wacro1.py from the VSS folder.  I think I learned that from one of the threads here.

I eventually got it working on Mac P7 SR2 by changing a line of code in vssui.py. I'll see if I can find it again.

I can't say it's a definitive fix for whatever problem he has, but it's worth a try.

Edit:

Found it, I think. The first line below is the commented-out original, the second line is my replacement. It's just before half way through the script, in "class Wacros(object)". I struggled for ages to get to the bottom of this issue and just got it working when SR3 made my fix redundant.

#call = os.path.join(vssFolder, self.pyfileFmt % (i+1))
call = os.path.join(vssFolder, self.pyfileFmt % (i+1)).replace("/",":")

That was it - I remember it now. Thanks Izi.

 @all Thanks a lot for helping me out .. I try it out as soon as possible

 @ I tryed it out .. but no success at all :( 
I changed the script ..but suddenly if itry to hit the button .. I´ll get a error message :(

If I had much more time I would aprreciate it

 I remember what the problem with the Sr3 was in poser 7.  that was when absolute paths became relative, which meant some softwares couldn't import the Pz3 anymore without asking to locate every little thing.
Love esther

I aim to update it about once a month.  Oh, and it's free!

Well the bug here was that legal paths using slashes '/' were not understood by the Poser Python buttons window. They had to be changed to colon ":'.

If bloodboy is getting an error now, it is probably because he didn't type it exactly. Zero spelling errors are tolerated by computer programming languages, and in Python even the blanks in front of the text have to be correct. Indentation means something in Python.
