Working

Hi, I have 2.13.04 working fine here on Max 2015.
Maybe uninstall and reinstall it properly would fix your problem ?
Hope it helps.
Edit: sorry I just understood that you are trying to make WMC working on OLDER versions of 2013 ...

I got the same problem. Syntax error:

I got the same problem. Syntax error: at keyword parameter, expected name

I think any version of VLC created in 2015 don´t works on max older than 2013.

Would have to make available for download again review v2.126?

The last version I have here is the 2.01. It´s running at max 2010, however has a bug that does not work change some properties of selected objects.

I also have version 1.12 that works a little better, but not have as many features.

Thanks.

Script Improvement reply

Hi Magicseed,

I can see that opening the files 500 time is inefficient. I will look at this when I next get some time to develop the script and let you know how things go!

Cheers,
Olly

Script Improvement

Hi Olly,

Thank you for your reply. I realized that a bit too late. Your script is truly useful. I have a very strong recommendation though. I hope you can develop an interface that would allow to apply sets of properties instead of just one property on the go. For example, it would be more useful if I can select refraction, reflection, diffuse and glossiness and set the values and apply them on one go. And then, user should be able to save these settings for future use. Most importantly, the ability to apply this set of properties in batch mode (power user). I have tried the power user option but it can apply only one particular property. Not so helpful if I want to change 100 max files in my library. If I am going to change 5 properties, The script will open these files 500 times to complete the process.

Well, just my suggestion and I will continue to be your donor in developing this script. Very nice work!

Regards,
Magicseed
