I think you may have been making the changes in the copy of the exporter that is in your bin directory. Or maybe in the release directory of blender, and then it gets copied into your bin when you make install (?)</div><div><br></div><div>The actualy real place the exporters is stored is the separate git repository blender-addons that is a subproject of blender. I think stuff from there overwrites your release directory when/if you do git submodule foreach git pull origin master.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Other mentors:</div><div>what is the proper procedure to follow for a gsoc project that wants to change something in addons? Should a branch of addons be made to go along with soc-2017-vertex_paint?</div><div><br></div></div>
