Blender 2.8 compatibility?

[dairin0d]

Still working on it, sorry that it takes so much time ^_^"

[Atulin]

Take your time, I just wanted to know if it's being worked on or not 👌

[spiraloid]

any update on this? I'm looking for a good export selected as .blend and re-link in place option.

[dairin0d]

I finally found a way to solve a major roadblock, so now it's in the active development again.

Without your Addon, Asset Manager won't work! I am a CAD operator but 3D CG is inconvenient. I am perfect with your Addon!

@FuuChang @spiraloid @dairin0d

In Blender 2.8 I have the option to select a checkbox selection only:

So, in my case I don't need this tool anymore (I only export to .stl for slicing/3d printing).

Curious what your status is on your update? I went ahead and managed to get it to work myself after some changes due to the 2.80 update. I'm really only interested in batch processing of blend files to export from a larger "kitbash" fbx file. Works great! There are still bugs with the dupli_types but I havent conquered that yet.

Hi, me and @moth3r are working on the new version. It's almost done, just need to polish some new features before it's officially out. If you have BlenderArtists account or something, we can contact you before the release. Sorry that you had to spend your time on this ^_^"

[flagmaggot]

I spent maybe 4 hours so it's no real big loss on my part. Just more figuring out the API for 2.80 as I've never developed for blender before. I created a blender artist account. Username is flagmaggot

Look forward to seeing an official version. Mine works for now so I'm not too impatient. :)

[dairin0d]

I see :) Good to know!

[biteworks]

Find the addon really interesting. Are there any new developments?

Look for a way like @spiraloid mentioned above to export things and then link them back. The linking part is something a colleague will implement, but the "save as blend"-part would be interesting.

The addon has been ported to Blender 2.8 (and expanded in functionality) -- though, to be honest, I completely forgot about spiraloid's request. I'll try to add it before the release as well. Unfortunately, I have no idea when the new addon is going to be published, because it depends on the guy I collaborate with. Possibly within a month... but take this estimate with a huge grain of salt.

[biteworks]

Thanks for the quick answer! I am excited about the release

[calumk]

Excited about the 2.8 release :) Hope work is going well

[calumk]

Any progress?

[dairin0d]

Any progress?

It's not up to me (I finished the development quite a while ago, but I'm not exactly free to just publish the addon on my own). If you like, ask moth3r in the forums, he's basically the one responsible for the documentation and publishing now.

[calumk]

Any progress in the last 6 months ?

[dairin0d]

Well, recently moth3r seems to have finally got enough time for publishing the addons that have been sitting in the queue for a while. Today he published one of them, so I hope Export Selected (or, rather, Batch Import-Export, as it's now called) will finally see the light of day within a few weeks.

I hope the add-on will also be compatible with Blender 2.9? This tool would be very helpful for me. Thanks.

[dairin0d]

Yes, it's compatible with Blender 2.9 as well :-)
