Could you share information about layout editing if there are any python methods or threads here ?

Hi,
Is there a way to insert a button to a Layout in C4D python ?
Thanks,
G

I just simply add a plugin to C4D which creates a user menu into C4D all in one pack without adding any script into the user C4D preferences folder ( library / scripts ) . Menu and script embedded solution all in one plugin inside.

Anyone here ? Any practice like this ?

The extension is different. So the file name too.

Ups. Maybe. I'm checking..

Hey,
Can it be possible to create a user menu from a plugin with scripts ( lines ) which are not registered in the c4D user preference folder ? ( "c:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Maxon\Maxon Cinema 4D YY" )
Thanks in advance,
G

Thanks for your answer.
Tokens are working well but I have a strange issue with them at the multi pass files, if I end the file with a string ( here 'XXX') the file works well but If not it adds '1' to it. Do I miss something in the process ? I think my python token string could not generate that end string there.

Hello,
Is there a chance to add an expression result of python ( for me the mayor version from the C4D file name ) to the Render Settings Path string ? I would not use c++ custom token, because I'm not familiar in C++.
Thanks !
