Lost Scripts' Shapes Window (**New** BETA 4 PE+) for Moho 14.3+ Pro

[Greenlaw]

By 'multiple Scripts folders, I mean I created are separate Content folders, and Moho should be reading only from the chosen Content folder.

Normally, I keep one 'default' content (native-only,) and one 'custom' content (third-party added,) and I may switch between them when troubleshooting. In this case, I made one extra content folder with Shapes Window version 3.x, not 4.x. This allows me to compare performance between the two versions by switching Content folders. While it shouldn't matter, I haven't actually switched between these two yet.

But I'll check everything before deleting anything, to be sure I don't have multiple 'duplicate' files within the current custom content folder.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Hi Rai,

Mystery solved! I finally got around to sorting this out, and you were right: I found two copies of the menu script installed.

What happened was that I normally place third-party menu scripts inside a sub-folder named after its developer, within a Custom menu folder...(yes, I know that's weird, but I like to categorize Menu scripts by developer, not function,)...and when I updated the script, I forgot that Shapes Window comes with its own custom menu folder called - Lost Scripts. When I brought over the Shapes Window folders, I mistakenly thought I was overwriting the old Menu script, and I ended up with two versions. Based on my screenshot, Moho was clearly running the old version.

I expect to use Shapes Window a lot in my current project, and now that I'm actually using version 0.4.2, I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks again for your help!

BTW, I'm using the - Lost Scripts Menu folder as intended. Don't want to risk making that error again.

Cool! That was the most probable cause in base of what you showed. So we are now "aligned" and I hope everything goes smoother from now on, but feel free to let me know whatever you could find, because it's expected I'll start having some more time in a week or so... Thank you so much for continue using and testing/stressing the tool!

Quick follow-up: A week later, and the latest Shapes Window appears to be very stable, even when scrubbing the timeline. I'm not using it very heavily on my current job, but the window had been left open for much longer than usual for me. Not noticing any memory issues, either...it just works.

Oh, and lately I've kept it in Advanced mode too.

I'll use Shapes Window more heavily (lots of shapes with animation) in an upcoming tutorial, and will let you know how that goes.

Fantastic job, Rai! Thanks again for sharing this tool!

Well thanks for the follow-up! That's so good to hear... I hope everything keeps running smoothly both in general and for the tutorial , even though scrubbing optimization is still a pending task... Cheers!
