It used to work, but one day the tab just disappeared. I tried to update the tools to the latest version and replace the Python file in the script folder, but it still does not appear. Is there a way to bring it back?

Ah, interesting.

So there were a few changes on how it takes those files, when we’ve added multiple tabs possibility.

Few questions for debugging that:

  1. Which kangaroo version are you using? You can see the version on the top of the main Kangaroo UI

  2. Where are your picker files? Or were you not creating any in the past and letting it use the default ones instead?

  3. Can you send the log that you get on opening the Picker UI?
    There should be lines that look like this:

found directories:
C:/mayaTools/KANGAROO/KangarooBuilderExtras/customPickerPaths, C:/mayaTools/KANGAROO/KangarooMainDev/scripts/kangarooAnimation
found 2 element files
C:/mayaTools/KANGAROO/KangarooMainDev/scripts/kangarooAnimation\nora.elements

  1. I’m using Kangaroo 5.16, and the Ctrl Picker is 4.5

  2. The picker file are in my kangaroo Animation folder, C:\Users\me\Documents\maya\kangarooBuilder_5_16\scripts\kangarooAnimation

  3. Here is the line
    import kangarooAnimation.KangarooAnimTool as KangarooAnimTool; KangarooAnimTool.showUI(False)

    Warning: The specified scriptJob (1237) does not exist.

hmm, it looks like he finds the file, but still doesn’t show. Maybe something is screwed with your files.. I’ll message you, maybe you’ll have to send me the files
