Thank you for adding the "save a character anywhere" feature! Much more flexible than saving to the project directory, and it's already making sharing pose libraries much easier.
However, it's kind of annoying to have to browse for a character every time I open the PoseMan window. It wouldn't be hard to add in a feature to remember the last used character and load that every time PoseMan starts. In fact, I even went and added a quick-and-dirty method to do just this. Two lines of code, as follows:
after line 268 ("showWindow poseManWindow;") in poseManProc():
if (`optionVar -exists "pmLastCharacter"`) goChar `optionVar -q "pmLastCharacter"` "";
after line 599 ("if (`filetest -r ($path + "/" + "sections.conf")`) {") in goChar():
optionVar -sv "pmLastCharacter" $gCurrentCharPath;
If you wanted to get really fancy, you could use a string array optionVar to remember more than one recent character, and add a recent characters submenu to the Character menu. It's a bit more work, but I think it'd be awesome!
Thanks again for the great script!
