Quick Run Free

This is basic and limited version of Quick Run. You can run all scripts with it, it’s limited only in the sense of Script organization and user experience. All boss features(UI) will work in it.

UI

1. Buttons:

   button is created for every file in Script directory.

2. Addon directory:

   opens addon install directory

3. Scripts directory:

   opens directory where scripts are saved.

   Note

   This folders is not python package. You can see that there is no __init__.py file.

4. Reload Settings:

   Reloads settings immediately after making change, so that you won’t have to restart blender.

   see settings.json

5. Help:

   Before writting this documentation. I wanted to make integrated tutorial kind of thing. So it’s kind of useless now.

settings.json

Settings are saved in settings.json file. You can open that file by pressing Addon Directory button. This opens install directory of addon. You can find settings.json file among other files and folders.

  button’s won’t be created [from top, from bottom] in the space/region

Note

Addon writers might know that Addon settings are saved in a class inherited from bpy.types.AddonPreferences. If you are writting addon, you can do that, but I think settings.json file can be more intuitive in many cases.
