    Before buying this, can someone tell how the performance is? On the first release, it was really slow when using expressions.
  • Rafi KhanRafi Khan
    Hi, author of KBar here. I didn't know expressions had a performance problem. Can you open a support ticket with me so I can better understand the problem? Thanks!

    I bought recently version 1, but I didn't know there will be an update, which I have to buy separately as a new plugin.

    Hi!
    I am a very happy user of KBar v1, with one thing that annoys me a little bit is that the toolbar resizes from time to time.
    When I import footage of any kind, the layout changes and the bar gets scaled in height.
    Is v2 fixing that?

    Other than that this plugin is excellent!

    Hello! Congrats with the new version!
    I've purchased V1 about a month ago, is there any chance to have some upgrade discount?

    Sadly this is a bug in AE that I can't work around :(

    Lamek, please open a support ticket and include a screenshot or recording of what's happening so I can diagnose the issue.

    I'm using the trail version to see if it works for me. Does the trail version only support one kbar because as soon as I open another one and try to add entries to the list, all other kbars change as well so all 4 show the same entries

    You need to create multiple toolbars in the config screen then right click each panel and set it to a different one.

    Thanks for your help

    There's an issue with 2.0.1
    It still says it's 2.0.0 in both the ZXP Installer as in the About window.

    I even removed the 2.0.0. from ZXP and dragged the (today 20 feb) downloaded zip file which is named kbar-2.0.1.

    You open another instance of kbar under Window/Extensions and then on the panel options (3 vertical lines) you can switch which toolbar it should display. They are listed on the bottom of the dropdown menu. You also need to create another one in the kbar settings first.

    I fixed this in 2.0.2. Sorry for the annoyance.

    It's been over two weeks since your sale ended, so you might want to remove all the references to it. ;)

    does anybody know how i can define a relative path (instead of absolute) for my kbar scripts? i launch scripts with kbar that i share between my home and work computer which are saved to my dropbox and i'd love to easily synchronize the two. any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks
  • Bill PettinelliBill Pettinelli
    Can you install someone additional KBARs to our existing ones. For instance if a friend gave me his backed up KBAR settings can I load them into my KBAR settings without it overwriting my own existing KBARs?

    Yes please! This would be super helpful.

    Would really love to have unlimited K-bars, rather than the restricted amount of 4-windows. Also would love to have the ability to name those bars so that we can separate them by subjects (ie. animation, rendering, workflow, etc.).

    Hello,
    I'm having a bug with the latest version of Kbar.
    I have 2 bars on my layout and when I'm trying to close one, this causes AE to crash.
    Similarly, when I'm trying to open a project saved on another machine (with no kbar installed), it closes AE.
    I've uninstalled Kbar and the bug disappeared.
  • Will PoillionWill Poillion
    I apologize if this is a silly question... but is there a way to open up scripts in such a way that they can still be dockable? Are there parameters I can pass to it so it opens dockable or is that only possible by opening a script via the window dropdown?

    Great script! Just wish the option to open scripts as dockable was also possible.

    Thanks!
  • Skye EstesSkye Estes
    Hi there! Now that we have support for multiple bars, I'd love to be able to rename them so I can keep them collapsed to save screen space. Also seconding the request to be able to share configurations. It would be awesome for everyone on my team to have access to the same toolset for consistency.
  • Ryan ScottRyan Scott
    Love the organization but it runs extremely slow in on my setup and then causes AE to <not respond>. Heavy projects seem to break it? Thoughts?
  • Ryan ScottRyan Scott
    Hello it's me again. I'm not trying to be disparaging but the script is basically unusable for me. Maybe I'm doing something wrong with how I'm creating my Kbars. I'm working on a fairly typical motion graphics piece; nothing fancy. Not sure what's going on but would like a refund if this doesnt get sorted out.

    Is it possible to rename the panel name to something other than "Kbar 1"?

    Sadly no. This is a restriction of After Effects and what it allows me to do.

    Hey I can't seem to be able to get kbar to work on the latest version of AE. It install and displays fine, but I can't add, delete or move any of the buttons within the settings. When I hit delete it'll refresh the UI and the button re-appears.
    Have you come across this problem before?

    Hey guys. Any chance of implementing oblong text buttons that hold more than 8 characters??  Would be great if these oblong text buttons wrapped either vertically or horizontally as you resized the tab. It's only right.

    Hi, I wanted to know if there is a way to create macro actions in KBar.
    Things like a button that creates a solid and then applying an effect of it (like Element 3D for example) in one click.
