[ #4581 ] related to scripts window updates, details here:
http://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=4581&group_id=9&atid=125
Scripts updated:
-Jean-Michel Soler updated some of his scripts: paths importer (ai,
eps, gimp, svg), kml / kmz importer and also updated Axiscopy.py by A
Vanpoucke (xand) and the knife script (this version handles multiple
materials) by Stefano Selleri and Wim Van Hoydonck. Thanks!
Both had small problems,
This script works with soft bodies (as fixfromarmature does) and works on multiple objects at once as Apply_def does.
Made them use Mesh over NMesh unless soft bodies are involved- in that case is uses NMesh because Mesh cant get soft body info at the moment.
This script also works with non mesh objects - mballs, text, nurbs etc.
fixed some other UI logic in the python menu script
Added an option to use a vertex group for a reduction weight map to force reducing some areas more then others.
Mesh epydocs activeGroups can be None as well as string.
Theres some other error that only happens when exporting fairly high poly meshes, but this problem is with the old exporter also.
Also added export for non mesh objects as meshes- text, metaballs etc and null material slots dont stop the script.
When through and replaced the obvious ones but there are still a a few Id rather not touch without more about whats going on.
Did quite a few changes to export-iv also.
Export mesh data with modifiers and objects matrix applied. export not only mesh data but text, nurbs etc (thanks to BPYMesh getMeshFromObject)
Small updates to ply import, dont set the TEX of a face (no pink faces anymore)
made ngon loop-reduce function faster by replacing dicts with sets
off_export has some errors, modernized the script.
added a python 2.3 reversed compat function - just uses ls[::-1]
Further 2.3 compat testing needed.
- Jean-Michel Soler (thanks!) pointed that the 3ds importer was missing
license info. Added a GPL license block copied from the 3ds exporter by
the same author.
LWO cheats by having multiply poly lines in 1, by doubling back on the line. BPyMeshes NGON function splits this into multiple NGons so PolyFill can fill properly.
Tested with 1711 LWO files - (2 had unreadable faces) 77meg and 103 OBJ files- all worked.
Further changes need to be added but theres a bug in Blender that prevents the NGon function from working.

Lightwave major update by Alessandro Pirovano (uaraus) intergrated with my changes.
Tested with ~ 500 models to import without throwing an error.
Added subsurf back, image loading fixes and removed meshtools dependancy
- Jean-Michel Soler updated the svg to obj module used by Paths
Importer (thanks!)
- user request: added option to control whether user prefers per face
(uv face select "TwoSided" toggle) or per mesh ("Double Sided") single /
double face info in ac3d exporter.
BPY:
- Blender_ShowHelp() was now crashing Blender when called for the
second time, due to EXPP_dict_set_item_str decrementing the reference
count of an object passed as argument to Blender_ShowHelp() (so not
owned by that function).
Help->System->Benchmark (the Tkey benchmark) returned timings even if
user cancelled the pupmenu. Was just missing a check
for -1 in toets.c -- wonder how old this one was... Reported by Wim Van
Hoydonck.
Scripts:
- Updated Jean-Michel's hotkeys script for Blender 2.42.
- Followed Pieter Visser's suggestion and added version info to the menu
names of the older collada scripts (v1.3.1).
Thanks guys!
Note for builders: nevermind if you already compiled 2.42RC1, these
updates are not critical at all and can be left for the release or RC2.
