Same Problem

Hi! Great plug-in, here. I am having the exact same problem that bronius is having. When I try to add a path to a new library, it disappears. Is there a solution to this? I would be willing to pay for support. Thanks! Brian

Macroscript Error Exception

I have Win 7, Max Design 2013, Update 6, and the current version 1.2.5. Installed it as instructed, but I got this error when I run from either toolbar or from menu:

Maxscript Macroscript Error Exception
--Compile error: No outer structure definition member references permitted here: extraFileOperation.

Any clue? Thanks.
