Scene Selector

What is the right path to start Scene Selector from the button on Anime Studio?

Depends on where you have SceneSelector installed (and perhaps which button you're using, there are a few I made; I'll assume x_app). The easiest way to find the path, if you don't remember where you installed it (on XP), is to right-click the shortcut and select properties. Copy the target path.

I know where the program are installed, the problem are another.
I've installed the button on Anime studio and when I press it, a DOS windows appears for a few seconds.
Nothing appens and the windows closes saying "Invalid command"
I have to insert the program path on the line in the _tools_list.txt?

Fixed!
I've replaced the words"scene selector" whit "sceneselector.exe" on the LUA file in the final part and now the program starts.
But still give the "run-time error 52" when I try to change folder... How can I fix it?

You have to open the script, syn_x_app.lua, in a text editor like Notepad. Find the section below this:

Code: Select all

-- ***************************************************
--                  Application Paths
--         Edit these according to your system
-- ***************************************************

The first one will be:

Code: Select all

SceneSelector = "\"C:\\Program Files\\Anime Studio Scene Selector\\SceneSelector.exe\""

Just put your actual path here, making sure that it is surrounded by "\" and \"" as shown.

One of these days, I'll include a UI for finding the programs and automatically assigning these paths.

v_aviles will have to help you with that, but I'd try reinstalling it. I updated from an earlier version, so if they're still up, you might try installing one of those and then just replacing the .exe file to update.

v_aviles,

Love the improvements. I only have one request. Would it be possible for Scene Selector to store all of its backups and thumbs in the installation folder? I keep deleting the thumbs folder from my desktop after I've accidentally navigated to it.

p.s. Any reason the scroll bar flashes?

Imago:
It is a very strange error. I've done some tests and still don't get that error displayed. I even verified the code and found nothing. Are you using an external drive or flash drive to store your Anime Studio files?

I have no idea! But it's not the first time I write a program in Visual Basic and the scroll bar flashes...

Would it be possible for Scene Selector to store all of its backups and thumbs in the installation folder?

I could make another upgrade in which the backups and thumbs folder can be specified instead of creating and using sub-folders in the folders in which the animations are stored.

Thanks, that would be great.

The program was installed on the default path.
Now I've moved it in my AS project folder on a external USB HD, in this way I don't need change directory.
The error appears in both cases...

P.S.
I work under Windows Millennium Edition because some graphics utilities crashes on XP and Vista... The OS are the trouble?

I tested it under XP and Vista, but not under Millenium. I should not be trouble, but who knows... Do you have access to a computer with XP or Vista?

According to synthsin75 it only works in AS 5, is this so.

I m hoping it will work in ASP 6.1. and under Windows XP

I am using it with AS 6.1 under Windows XP. Just go to

File --> Set Anime Studio path

and select the location where Anime Studio is located.

Thank you very much.

Will you give us a tutorial to install and use it???

I feel rather nerves at the idea of altering a program.

But the screen shot you have put on the forum makes me rather exited.

v_aviles i1t also works on v7.

Now, that you have got that fare with it I recon it could be also developed into a storyboard for AS.

If any notes in a scene was to be seen or made appear with the thumbnail then it would double as a good storyboard.

Thank you again for your work.

*** Update ***

Sometimes, a thumbnail was not created. This version solves that bug:

Very well! I was looking for it from ages! Thanks, V_Aviles!

P.S.
It give me the same "run-time error 53, File not found" when I try to create yhe thumbnails, as the older versions... And everytime I run the program again, it will create the thumbnail once, then it crashes at error 53...How it comes?
