sorry for dragging this out but i am not budging from this. i don't buy the excuse for not asking questions... i am not talking about this list. how about on the site that hosts the plugin? https://github.com/caron/PyQtForSoftimage/issues
brace yourself for candidness. i am taking the position that 'a lot of artists' you mention are lazy. not stupid... lazy. they gave up waaay to early. i have given a lot to this community (and have received a lot too) to avoid it from 'dying', so please don't suggest my lack of documentation is some how damaging one's perception of the community. you say you are appreciative but it just keeps irking me when you say 'a lot of artists'... i see it as a made up number to get an effect. surely you know these artist and surely you could have helped them when the originally had the issue? maybe by posting on this list for them? in the mean time, i gave more of my free time to update the documentation. i hope it is satisfactory... i you could test these instructions and maybe reach out to those artists who couldn't get it to work before. if they still have issues, use the issues page on the github site. https://github.com/caron/PyQtForSoftimage On Fri, Jan 10, 2014 at 11:15 PM, Angus Davidson <[email protected]>wrote: > Just changed the topic to merge the threads > > Firstly there are a lot of artists out there trying to use these tools > that sit on top of PyQt.
