2. On Mac OSX the the icons you write to disk are in the top folder of the Library (see the image). Could be in "Application Support/Aescripts/Gridder". Other aescripts authors use this folder as well ( if you do not remove them after loading them into the UI).
1. Well, 15 is just a slider limitation, you can enter any amount you want in the text field. 15 feels like the reasonable maximum for rows/columns, that's why I've set the sliders so.
2. I tested only UI on Mac so I didn't see this. Will be fixed in next update, thanks!
I had a comp with about 500 layers. Maybe that made the script react slow.
Another thing.When typing directly setting a higher number works but when I delete the number in the textfield (using backspace) the script throws an error in line 58 (Division thru Null) and the script freezes. Whon closing and opening it again ther is a "NaN" in the textfield.

As for speed - yes, it's really not that fast working directly with script with more than 100 layers, though I've made a major speed improvement in 1.5.
Expressions mode for this amount of layers is even slower, but that's all I can do with AE.

I think what makes it live updating the layers position.
Maybe there could be a "tons of layers mode" where the user can first make the settings and than apply them. Seeing the layers move around is nice but not necessary.
Hallo Nik Ska Very nice script, thanks a lot, but I have trouble in two things: fisrt, the duplicator mode just doesn´t work. I have one shape layer selected, make changes in the panel and nothing happens, no duplications of that layer.. second, when I manually create a bunch of layers, the script works fine, but when I click create, it creates a null object with the sliders, but all are set to zero and do nothing, because no expressions have been written into the properties of the shape layers??? tested with cs 5 and gridder 1.55 do you have an idea why is this so? screenshot: http://s7.postimg.org/na82fg4ij/2013_09_20_021941.jpg
... OK, I found out that with the AE language set to english the expressions work fine, but can I somehow use the script with other languages? But the duplicator mode doesn´t function even with AE set to english?

Ok, this is the known problem of 1.55, I'll try to solve it ASAP, Duplicator mode is still beta

Thanks for pointing that out! I have released a hotfix for that, just download the script again.

hi nik ska thanks again for your effort, but did you test your hotfix? On my Computer with CS 5 german same effect, only the null but no expressions are created?
Sorry, Leif, that error was quite unobvious. But now the Gridder is tested on German CS5 and expression mode works just fine.
sorry, but I don´t get it, even now no expressions are written. But maybe I used the wrong script, the one I have recently downloaded has exactly the the same Byte Size as the previous one, they both are 1.56, did you update the file here on the server?
Hi Yes I tested. Rectangle mode works fine, (except of the not working Duplicator mode) 3D mode forces the script to hang, you have to delete all the layers and load the script again to continue. And Circular mode does work, but doesn´t write any expressions, just a null object with the sliders set to zero.

Ok, I think I'm gonna install German AE just for testing these things. This behavior does not appear on English version and I apologize for any inconvinience you or anyone else could have experienced.
I just downloaded and installed in AE CC. Nothing is working. I have followed your demo and am not sure how to proceed. I did pay your suggested price for the script and am hoping you might have some advice for me.

Added note: I get an error message sometime: Unable to execute script at line 1165. Function activeLayers.countNames is undefined. And another note: It works perfectly in CS6. When would a CC version be available?

I just bought it and it is not working properly. Unable to execute script at lone 191. When i manage to load only works a bit until I try to make a 3d grid. Swapping the selector to 2d grid before selecting any layer seems to make it work a bit on 2d, but once you change to 3d it hangs. I need it to work already. Spent about an hour trying, reducing the size of my images´names just in case. Please help. Paid the suggested price.

I have a little problem when entering numbers into the text fields - everything is entered backwards! ie, if I want 90, I have to type 09. I'm using CS6 on Mac.

Hi, Mark! I'm not sure what's the problem. The script was initially developed for CS6, though this is mostly irrelevant. I've heard from a couple of other users about this issue, but I'm unable to track its origins for now. Tested it both on Mac and PC, CS6 through CC2014, and could not reproduce this behaviour.
Great plugin, but it looks like there's at least one bug for the "duplicate mode" which doesn't work on my windows after effects CC (and CC 2014) and on MAC after effects CC.
Also the set grid buttons doesn't work as they look like on your demo video. Well it's possible to use them, but they doesn't became yellow as they should. Things like this...

at least with "rectangle mode" now it works fine..
