You also have this excellent script... ApplyTo, by Rick Wilson...

Sorry, I have no time to work on this plugin...
And components & groups easily generates lots of bugsplats... It's very hard to work with...
Give me some time, I will certainly have a moment to improve it...

Lucifer's house... i thought it would be a little more... evil?

Hi all!

I decided to create a topic containing all scripts I wrote. I don't know if it's a good idea, but I like it... Here we go!
For many, these scripts have been published on this site. Some were created as a result of requests. Many have evolved as a result of testing and suggestions, thank you to all who participated.

I'm trying to do smt with my plugin Recall last tool...
plot-paris had an interesting idea:

@plot-paris said:

Just a thought: does it make sense to have a similar tool go through several previously used tools when pressing the shortcut key repeatedly?

My first thought was to add an observer on keyboard, that's why I create this topic... But now I think I should add a tools observer that control if tool has been activated twice in a row...

hi all!

@unknownuser said:

I just don't think its a good idea to do so.
In fact, I don't know the best solution for my need... That's just the first idea that comes! Thank you for giving your opinion, Adam, and you give another idea!

@unknownuser said:

Actually, it would be good if someone could find an equivalent solution on Mac, so that the two platforms remain on par.
I agree, Fredo. A solution that do things by halves is not a good solution...

@unknownuser said:

I'm guessing that the only possible answer will be something like using win32 for windows and then try to find something like that for a Mac - How fun!
Just a little bit too difficult for me!

Yes I know this method... But not its opposite!

Hi!
I am also intersted by this request... How can you set active path to a defined componant instance?

Hi CadFather!
The problem is that working on components generates lots of problems... It's very hard for me.
I try sometimes, but slowly!

Anyone else? So impossible? Fredo I KNOW (I hope) you have a solution

I hope so!

Fredddooooo!! Mais comment fais-tu !!?? Impressionnant, je suis que je suis complètement fan de tes plugins !! Bravo...

For those who didn't adopt this incredible new plugin:
