[Bf-committers] Pataz Studio's Gooseberry Wishlist

Thu Mar 13 00:55:13 CET 2014

Thanks for your feedback man, appreciated and I agree with you.
There's a fine but important line in what is the job of an
addon/script and what is the job of Blender itself. Of course I can
not push for any of those features anyway, there has to be a consensus
between some coders and the owners of modules :)
