Does 3d-coat delete your import.txt file.

Use default data folder. Then set applink folder to ...Documents/Applink/Exchange then see what happens

I still dont' understand why you should create 3D-CoatV48. If I install fresh copy of 3d-coat 4.9 I think it should use 3D-CoatV49. I'm might be wrong. Cant test now cause I'm working on linux.

Ok. I'm sorry. But I do hope you to understand that its very hard to fix something I don't see.

I reply tomorrow because I turned into linux system already. Sorry. I think you are wasting your time if you start to test with other win builds. If you want to make easy test. make 3d-coat to use default data folder and see if that works.

Yes. Im using windows10 but I doubt that build version has nothing to with this.. something odd happens cause 3d-coat does not read valid import.txt

It seams that this could be more bug inside of 3d-coat. because your import.txt looks ok. and 3d-coat reads it and deletes it, but will not do anything after that..Very odd.

It's interesting its G:\3DCOAT\3D-CoatV48 and not G:\3DCOAT\3D-CoatV49

More I think of this. I quite sure that this bug is there because you are using so old 3d-coat version.

this could be 3d-coat issue. because you said it will overwrite import.txt. So 3d-coat deletes import.txt file? that means that it will acknowledge the file but does not do anything with it. And thats a bit odd.

I see that you are using 4.8 version? it's quite old. Are maybe able download latest 4.9 version. I know it's much to ask.

Can you show your folder structure in G:\3DCOAT\3D-CoatV48

After pressing send button in blender. go to window -> toggle system console. Do you see any errrors there?

Sorry but you didn't answer my question so I ask again You should have connection between blender and 3d-coat. If you select basic cube and press send button. Do you see import window in 3d-coat? if not do you see any error messages in blender.

thats legacy code and I will remove it some point. There is setting that you can limit this folder for 10 items.

Thank you. So that file has the right info. You should have connection between blender and 3d-coat. If you select basic cube and press send button. Do you see import window in 3d-coat? if not do you see any error messages in blender.

Thank you. two points: 1. is there G:/3DCOAT/3D-CoatV48/Exchange folder 2. if there is. Then you place that path into addon and hit Apply. Now do you see SEND and GETBACK button. Now can you open Exchange_folder.txt file and see if G:/3DCOAT/3D-CoatV48/Exchange is saved there. 3. so if you open blender again, Exchange_folder.txt should still have same path. is this the case. Sorry to ask so many question but I hope I with these info I find fix much faster.

so is Exchange_folder.txt empty every time when you reopen blender. or does it include something?

I hope you can understand that I'm doing my best to help you...I really am. So every time when you start blender again it will delete what's inside of Exchange_folder.txt I hope you can understand that it really hard to fix something that I don't see. Thats why I need to ask many questions. But I hope we can find solution soon for you.

so if you put G:\ 3DCOAT\3D-CoatV48\Exchange into applink. Does that works?

@kenmo I agree that this can be a bit confusing but When addon asks exchange folder it dosen't mean location of your Exchange_folder.txt. When you install 3d-coat it will create Exchange folder somewhere in your computer. For example in my coumputer it's ...User/Documents/Applinks/Exchange you should find that folder and select that instead Exchange_folder.txt Where is your 3d-coat installed. Is it in default Program Files folder? If this is the case then addon should find your Exchange folder automaticly.

Thanks for providing video for me.. they really helps a lot. I updated git and here is also latest test version. io_coat3D.zip @kenmo @tokikake

i deleted the folder but didnt see anything with the latest addon version. How can I see the error.

Sorry to hear that. I took some time and this version should fix makedir error. I would be very grateful if you could test this version and give valuable feedback to me. Thanks. io_coat3D.zip @tokikake Thanks for your great tests/feedbacks. Really appreciative it.

@kenmo Sorry to hear that you have spent so much time for trying to get this addon to work. I will let you know when I will fix this issue. I study at the university and at the moment I have so much homework and thats why I don't have so much time with addon now. Usually I'm faster with fixes so apologize that it takes time this time. I can't promise fix day yet but I do hope that I can offer proper working addon in next week.
