Headless Version

Standard users should only be concerned with installing the file main to their ScriptUI folder, which will give you a dockable toolbar. However, if you use something like kbar or Quick Menu, you may want to be able to use our buttons directly without the real estate that yet another panel provides.

To this end, we've included a separate file for each button that you can run directly via your script launcher.

To open the options, hold 'ctrl' or 'cmd' when launching the script.
