[Bf-python] T40334 Review

Hi,

Blender users the "//" prefix internally to denote relative paths.

Posted full answer regarding relative paths here:

To add a fileselector, you can do 2 ways.

- Have a button referencing a string property with:
subtype='FILE_PATH'. This will show a text field in the UI with an
icon to select files on the right.
- Make your own operator which uses the file selector: See
TextEditor->Templates->Python->OperatorFileImport
