Hey, This may not technically be a feature per say, but I don't know where else to provide such feedback. If you would prefer if I send this elsewhere, let me know where and I'll do that ^^

So the issue is it's hard to easily find out that you cannot use SEUT 1.1 or older with blender 4.0>.

So I think adding a note in the installation tutorial and maybe in the repo's readme, stating that you must use the 1.2.0-betas with blender 4.0> to get it to stop erroring on export.

I'll guess that this was probably easier to figure out for people who have been using this tool and blender before this all borked, but as someone who is freshly picking up this workflow I had to ask for help on Keen's discord get the info that the released tagged latest was not actually what I needed (A big thank you to the peps on here btw <3 ). Plus, the wording on the installation tutorial states "Download the latest release of the SEUT Blender addon", could also lead some people to believe the release tagged latest is the "correct" choice.

Here you go, I hope this helped in some capacity ^^

Or alternatively, you could recommend users, to stay away from Blender 4.0 until the next stable release

Hey, I just made a quick PR for the readme if you want. this was just drafted quickly to save you some time and work if you want to have something written but don't want to bother touching the readme ^^ I'd happily do the same for the semref thingy but I wouldn't know how to comment or whatever on this tool x)

Anyway, hope this helped somewhat :)

Something is already being worked on in the back that I wasn't aware off. Closing
