Register.xml + icon's name

Hi !

I've had a new problem yesterday:
while trying to save a new pose into one of my character's poseBank, all of the others suddenly disapeared. I've checked through the data files, and found that my register.xml file located in my character's folder was completely empty: i wasn't able to see any of my poses, although they still exist in their folder, nor create any new.

The only solution i had to solve this was to manually recreate the whole register.xml file, by adding each pose + retarget the icons. And it worked well, i now have all my poses. But i'm not able to understand where the problem comes from.

In addition to this, while i was looking for the icons for my poses, i saw that some of them had my character's name into their name, and some didn't (eg: my character's name is Serge, and some icons are named "Serge_body_content" while others are only named "body_Tpose"). I'm not sure if that was made on purpose or not, but i find that very weird not to have the same classification.

Finally, after dealing with my problem, i had an idea to improve your tool: create a "backup" option. If you click on that "backup" button, it would create a .rar file for example, with all the poses ect in it. So that people can either save their poses somewhere in case of, or simply move them easily from different locations (folders, other computers). And having an "import library" option could be interesting too as a result...
One last thing: you've mad your window resizable, but the interface does not follow, which would be more readable. Could you make it resizable too ? That would be awesome.

Thanks again for your tool, i'm still really enjoying it, and i'm recommanding it to all those who are looking for something like that :)

I've updated the script. The interface is now resizable. I'm working on the backup feature now.

Hi, There was probably an error displayed in the script editor. If it ever happens again, please tell me what it says + the line number. That kind of error means that something prevented the register.xml file to be successfully edited. The icon files are always named this way for animations and poses : CHARACTERNAME_CATEGORY_POSENAME.png, and there's also a icon named CHARACTERNAME.png for eadch character but it isn't used yet. It's weird that you have an icon called this way. maybe if you send me your bank directory I'd be able to understand (gferrachat[at]gmail[dot]com). I thought about the import library feature already. Actually, an animator I work with wanted to bring the bank home to work during the weekend, but it wasn't possible because the files are linked to a specific directory. I'll write a script to import & edit the directories and will include this as a new feature in a future version. The resizable window thing is a good idea, I'll try to include that soon. Thanks again for your reports, it really helps a lot. I haven't been able to send any update recently because I'm very busy with a rigging job in Paris right now but I should be able to get back to work next week. I have fixed the issue that prevents from creating new categories but I still have a lot to do on this scripts and the others.
