Improvements

Hey! man, really great addon, you should advertise it a bit more.
2 things.

well one is something that maybe you're struggling with, any way for it to completely replace the original Shapekeys Panel by hiding the other one or such?.
the second one, is that it would be nice that since you can select shapekeys there would be a command to make a custom property on a designated bone and driver connect each property with each shapekey selected, and also maybe even set some settings for the connections beforehand, that would aid so much so many workflows!
thanks, if you can't do any of the above i totally understand, but i just wanted to let you know that there are people out there using it! and loving it!

Thanks for the feedback. I originally thought that the default Shape Keys panel couldn't be hidden but I may have just found a way to accomplish it. I'll see what I can do about the improvements for shape key selection.

thanks for listening to your users =)

It's going to take a couple of days to clean up the code before I start making improvements. This was my first add-on and I wasn't thinking much about manageability and PEP-8 at the time.

I might need an example .blend file with the type of workflow you were mentioning in the original post with properties and shape keys. Just to be sure, but I'm guessing you're talking about using a property on a bone to drive multiple shape keys at once (and in a different way for each shape key), like with facial expressions?

No, my idea was given a certain number of shapekeys that you select, the function could create 1 custom attribute per each shapekey and connect it via driver directly to it.

Which types of pre-connection settings do you have in mind for the custom properties?

Like a one click solution to create custom props in the specified bone, and connect them to the selected shapekeys via drivers.

Thats something that has to be done for rigs that will be linked to an other fil even if you don want to create a fancy interface, thats the only way to expose these attributes On Tue, Aug 15, 2017 at 8:11 AM Luciano A. Muñoz Sessarego < electronicpulse@gmail.com> wrote:

Looks like such a feature is too complicated for me to work on at the moment. I'll have to get back to it in the future. For now I'll publish v1.1.0 with just the updated UI and the ability to hide the default panel.

Great man!, no problem!
