Improperly accessing the value from the UI causes unexpected results

Currently they are left until the tool is closed.

Need to roll my own normalization here.

Store node references as MObjs to break from reliance on string names and Maya paths. Perhaps store an MObj pointer in the UserData of the widget.

Hi Chris,
I am really fascinated by the tool you wrote for Maya and I have seen videos about it and I really like to test it out but unfortunately the tool seems not working with Maya 2017 because of the latest update Autodesk did on Maya 2017.

The error I get all the time is this:

Error: line 1: ImportError: file /Users/haidarhakim/Library/Preferences/Autodesk/maya/2017/scripts/skinWrangler/skinWrangler.py line 18: No module named shiboken

And I read about how to fix this issue and ended up with these two pages:

http://cryptidfx.com/news/2016/7/28/vetala-in-maya-2017
And:
https://fredrikaverpil.github.io/2016/07/25/dealing-with-maya-2017-and-pyside2/

And I tried to modify the script and I have replaced these lines:

import shiboken
from PySide import QtGui, QtCore

With:
import shiboken2
from PySide2.QtGui import *
from PySide2.QtCore import *

But the tool still giving me this error:

Error: line 1: ImportError: file line 10: dlopen(/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/PySide/QtCore.so, 2): Library not loaded: libpyside-python2.7.1.2.dylib

Referenced from: /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/PySide/QtCore.so
Reason: image not found #

Can you please help with this... Any help appreciated

Show locked influences, allow locking/unlocking of unfluences from the list

When you 'undo' skinning changes, those changes should refresh the tool UI to be sync'd with the current skin values.

Need to store the original name somewhere, perhaps on the widget object in UserRole or just as an attached object.

Store which checkboxes and UI prefs you had enabled in Maya optionVars - Charles

I don't seem to be able to find the installation guide and as a result, I'm not sure if I'm doing it right.

• I try to put the skinWrangler-master folder here
  /Users/.../Library/Preferences/Autodesk/maya/modules
  or here
  /Users/.../Library/Preferences/Autodesk/maya/2024/scripts
  and run as Python

from skinWrangler import skinWrangler as sw
skinWranglerWindow = sw.show()

• also tried dropping skinWrangler.py into the viewport

ERROR

import maya.app.general.executeDroppedPythonFile as myTempEDPF
myTempEDPF.executeDroppedPythonFile("/Volumes/PLUGINS/Maya/skinWrangler/skinWrangler-master/skinWrangler.py", "")
del myTempEDPF
# Error: SyntaxError: file <frozen importlib._bootstrap> line 241: Missing parentheses in call to 'exec'. Did you mean exec(...)?

The plugin fails to open giving me an Error in Maya 2024.1

Look at using vertex colors or Artisan maps.
