I can appreciate that. I wouldn't outright not try to assist where I could but after a certain point I'd have to toss them your way obviously. A generic setup documentation would be helpful to assist in the troubleshooting that we do attempt. Eric T. On Friday, January 10, 2014 2:48:58 PM, St

Totally understand. However, the flip side is, people are developing tools that use PyQtForSoftimage and releasing them to the public. Once that started happening it went beyond developers only, so it seemed logical to include some "artist friendly" installation notes. -Paul ᐧ On Fri, Jan 10,

Hey Paul, I am reposting my response from github here... PyQtForSoftimage was primarily for developers and it assumes you already know how to use PyQt and have it installed in a location Softimage can access. I didn't add this to installation instructions for various reasons... mostly because it i

Thanks Stephen! It was indeed something as simple as turning off Softimage's Python. But, AFAIK, it's not documented in the PyQtForSoftimage installation instructions. Maybe I can jump on to GitHub and change that myself. (?) Thanks, Paul ᐧ On Fri, Jan 10, 2014 at 9:24 AM, Stephen Blair wro
