    Hey Mike,

    you did nice work here.
    However, i downloaded the trial version to test the plugin. And I don’t know if I encountered a bug or if this behaviour is by design.

    When I have a certain hierarchy of render settings which are nested in a parent-child mannor, I can activate my child render setting as usual and add object buffers to it as desired. But when I later want to delete these object buffers from the nested child render setting, the plugin doesn’t find the passes anymore. If I don’t nest them, everything works just fine.

    Do you see any chance to add a feature which makes sure, that one can work with a nested render setting hierarchy and add and delete passes like desired?

    I hope I made thing clear. If not, just let me know and I will try again.

    Cheers,
    Sebastian

    Hey Mike,

    nice to see you working it out so fast! :)
    However, if I download and install the latest version, it’s not opening in c4d.
    I mean it’s in the plugin menu but it won’t do anything if I click on it. Tried it with R17 and R18 by the way.

    Sorry to bother you again but this way I can’t test it. :(

    Cheers,
    Sebastian

    1. Remove old version of plugin from plugins folder.
    2. Trial period may expire. With trial mode you can use plugin with 5 launches of programm.
    3. Restart app, open Script Console and show me messages.

    Hey Mike,

    1. and 2. didn’t do the trick.
    So here’s what the console says:

    ##
    Flash Buffer Pro initialized.
    ##
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "'flash_buffer_aesc.pypv'", line 1398, in Execute

    I found a little bug that appears only on a Mac versions.
    Please, install latest version.

    Oh Mike,

    thanks for taking the effort to solve issues that quick.
    But I really don’t like to say this – it’s still not working…
    It seems as if there are some issues with variable namespaces inside the python code.
    When I install the latest version and fire up c4d the console now says following.

    ##
    Flash Buffer Pro initialized.
    ##
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "'flash_buffer_aesc.pypv'", line 1409, in <module>

    PS: To make sure that the problem isn’t coming from anything else, I removed every other plugin I had installed.

    Cheers,
    Sebastian

    You have to remove  Flash_buffer_aesc.pypv file. There is conflict of versions.

    I seem to be running into a problem when trying to use the Rename functions, nothing is happening after clicking the 'Rename' button. Here is the Console log:

    Unhandled exception in thread started by <function rename_and_move at 0x14153b230>
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/PathToC4D/plugins/Flash Buffer/flash_buffer_aesc.pypv", line 492, in rename_and_move
        ImportError: No module named fileseq

    I'm currently using the trial version of the plugin on R20 in MacOS.

    Hello James! Which version of plugin you use?
    I was originally using v1.201.

    I tried installing the new version (v1.2.2) and the plugin is failing to load. This is the message I'm getting in console:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File ".../plugins/Flash Buffer/flash_buffer_aesc_1.2.2.pypv", line 1398, in Execute

    Thanks for the quick response!

    Version 1.2.3 corrected the issue! The only thing I'm noticing now is when using "Object Buffer/Buffer Name" in the passes, it doesn't create a parent directory for 'Object Buffer' like it does for you at 4:55 in your video. It just places each of the passes into their respective folders.

    It's not that much of an issue for me, but figured you would like to know. Thanks for your help, and I love the plugin!

    it doesn't create a parent directory for 'Object Buffer' like it does for you at 4:55 in your video.

    Use this option for creating custom folder structures.

    Path from names option indicate, that now all slashes («/» or «\») in the passes names is the dividers to create a new path. Organizing OB files becomes easier!
