This is quite convenient and easy to do. > Perhaps you should use the same strategy I used in my mocap tools. I made two mocap importers (Acclaim and C3D) and then made a third addon which is a 3D View panel that uses these importers (CMU Mocap Library Browser, cmu_mocap_browser). Both importers have a frame_skip parameter, but the panel replicates this parameter for convenience. But my browser addon is still in contrib, so perhaps it is better not to use it as reference, I don't know. Cheers, Daniel
