    Any way to possibly make this CS6 Compatible, even if a couple of the new features were disabled? I could really do with this for the more regular options! 

    Thanks,
    Chris

    Hey Chris,
    Thanks for asking.
    ShapeLayerToolbar is compatible with CS6, but indeed a couple of the features won't work.
    I ought to put some time in tiding up the interface under CS6.
    Since that is not up to par I didn't list it in the compatibility tab.
    But it is functional under CS6.
    Please try out the trail version to see if it can do what you want!
    Regards,
    Daan

    So I downloaded the trial to test this. But when I try to load the script this error comes up.

    "Unable to execute script at line 102. undefined is not an object."

    I saw on the listing that "Gradients are supported from CC 2014 (13.0) onwards. & The empty shape autosetting the tool to pen tool is supported from CC 2016 (14.0) onwards." So I just figured I would disable those buttons.

    Any ideas on the cause of the script error?

    Thanks,
    Chris

    Hi,
    I'm working on this.
    Apparently CS6 is a bit irregular about loading pngs from strings.
    I'll get back to you when I've had time to fix this.

    I used the aescripts manager to install this script.
    But in AE 2020, I keep getting an error message looking for "fill balck white back CC13.0ffx"
    and there are about 8 gradients in total it seems to be missing.
    I uninstalled the script, and downloaded/installed manually.
    The folder it's looking for is there, but instead of CC13, it says CS6.
    Still getting the same error.
    I'm on MAC 10.13.6, High Sierra
    Help?!

    Hi Sharon,
    Thanks for reaching out!

    You must be updating from an earlier version. And had your own settings saved. This causes Shape Layer Toolbar to still look for the CC13 gradients. I've added the CS6 gradients for backwards compatibility.

    To solve this you could:
    - click "Clear the autoload filepath" in the settings,
    - then click "Save setting to file" and after that,
    - click "Set autoload file" and select the file you just saved.

    Or you could set some new gradient fills and gradients strokes.
    Or you could manually edit your saved settings file and search and replace CC13 with CS6.

    That should stop SLT from showing the message.
    In any case I'd be happy to help you.
    If you open a support ticket I can help you out directly.
    Regards,
    Daan

    Will this be updated for 2021/2022? It doesn't fully work in those versions. But I love it!
    Or is there anything similar??

    This should work in both 2021 and 2022.

    Unfortunately it does not work in 22.4 (the M1 Universal version currently in Beta)
    Hoping it'll be updated soon for AE Native

    Hi David,
    I've updated Shape Layer Toolbar.

    I hope everything is also working properly in 22.4 now.
    If not, please open a support ticket!

    I'll try to update the page and the install file in the coming days.

    If you are having any trouble please open a support ticket, so I can help you directly.

    PROPERTIES PANEL

    Not sure if this is covered in one of the instruction videos, but just in case anyone runs into this issue:
    If you want to see your shape layer elements in the Properties panel, you have to create a Group and put everything in that.

    Shapes, Fills, or whatever else that are left ungrouped at the top level in the layer aren't recognized by the Properties panel.

    (This is true of any shape layer, not just the ones built using this handy tool.)

    Does anything work in the Settings panel? 

    So far as I can tell the only button that actually does anything in that panel is the Cancel button and that's not guaranteed, as I've had to force-quit AE a number of times when this panel has frozen it. It's not like I'm using some ancient, slow memory machine. 

    When will this issue be fixed?

    Hi Sean,

    Sorry to hear that it isn't working as expected.
    You might still need to set an autoload file. Could that be it?

    Please open a support ticket so I can help you directly.

    Kind regards,
    Daan
