Add TexTools to the new Extension Platform #219

Open Dangry98 opened 1 month ago

Would be nice to have TexTools available on the new extension platform, any plans? https://extensions.blender.org/

It would be nice, but we have to improve the code a lot to pass the review. TexTools have a lot of modules to review, they are pretty different from one another, and many hacky approaches are in use to solve some tricky circumstances. We need to be patient.

Alright! Thanks! I understand :)

But, perhaps it would be best to add it for review as soon a possible, since then you can get a list of everthing that needs to be improvde. That said, after having added 4 add-ons on the platform for review, the review procces was not as strict as I as expected, so I dont think this add-on would need to change that mutch to pass.

We are already in the process of improving the add-on codewise, so I view the extensions platform like the ultimate goal. And as I said, this add-on is very complex, there is no need on adding more pressure to the development and no need on making people on the extension platform waste their time reviewing it considering its current state.

@franMarz I'd love to help out with the development if you setup some tasks, or maybe point me at something to start with.
