Hi,

happy to hear that it works.
And thanks for understanding the problem with the DOT: I checked and it is true.
Note: this is an iClone problem, i.e., the Motion Puppet tool does not display anything when a Body profile name contains a DOT.
Weird... isn't it ? 

...and just for curiosity, I created a category with a DOT in the name and the result is the same: the Motion Puppet tool definitively does not like the DOTs 
...and because the curiosity was not satisfied, I tried to add a DOT to any of the animation clip in a Category: odd enough, in this case the Motion Puppet tool simply ignore any part of the name that follow the DOT character and display only the left part of it.

Hence, I am preparing a new version where I simply replace in the final Body Profile name, Category name, and motion name any "." character with a "_" character.
(Somehow...) Super-easy!! 

The icons that appear in the Dialog Box when you ADD/EDIT a the Category are used as a alternative way to add a user-defined picture as a category icon, rather than the Text.
You can fill the directory (where I already inserted some icons) with any picture you want.
Also feel free to delete the icons I put: they are there just as an example.

In the new version that I am preparing I also fixed the fact that the selected icon did not stretch correctly to exactly in the icon Category box in the Motion Puppet tool.

So... new version upcoming in a while.
Stay tuned!

Thanks for the tip toystorylab, That did the trick!!

I remember a while back someone posting a text file about "modifying Face Puppet profiles" but can't find the post so I uploaded my copy of it [HERE].  I don't remember the author but this was the first time I toyed with changing the profiles to suit the project I was working on, in it he mentions the importance of the naming convention used in the process.  Roberto's "Wonderful and Magical Profile Machine" makes this process so much easier! 

Thank you again Roberto for your generosity!

Well, DOT was a sudden idea, not really a scientific analysis.
I am not at all into maths, physics and Python is an dangerous animal i'd better not touch...


That only a simpel DOT in the Folder-Name can cause this is totally weird
Hm, i did not see any of these CategoryIcons (frames) in the Motion Puppet Tool...(?)

New version is now available: 1.3

Changes:

- added automatic renaming of Body profile, Category, and Clip name for the Motion Puppet if any DOT exists ( "." replaced with "_" )
- fixed a mistake in the Clip Delete function (if multiple clips were selected, only the 1st one was deleted)
- added the stretching of the icons taken from image files (i.e. not the Text) so that they perfectly fit into the Motion Puppet icon space

Cheers

Hm,
something very strange happened...
I wanted to load all my motions out of my custom folder but 1.2 crashed immediately.
Every time i tried it.
Then i clicked 4.6 wich is not in the MPM folder and that worked.
Than i clicked 3.5 / 4.0 / 4.5 and they all mentioned the missing IC5/6/7 ini (because the exe was not in MPM folder)
Then i deleted the CategoryIcons Folder and ALL (3.5 / 4.0 / 4.5 / 1.2 / 4.6) work now (within the MPM Folder)...
So i guess something is wrong with that CategoryIcons Folder... (at least on my PC)

Will download 1.3 now

Version 1.3 works fine (even with the CategoryIcons Folder )

Hm,
everything worked fine BUT as soon i opened CategoryIcons Folder and closed again, 1.3 crashes immediately.
Folder kicked out ---> No crash!

Changes: re-coded the ListView control for the Category icons in the correct way (thanks to "toystorylab" to highlight it)
