Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

Hi together,

I have some troubles with my Instance Panel (version 1.3, the tvpx file):
I have installed it and it works. Then I wanted to show my students how to load and delete custom panels. I deleted my Instance Panel, just to install it again. The last step is not working. I dragged and dropped it over TVPaint and the loading extensions screen appears. I pressed OK, but nothing happens. I rebooted and tried again, but I cannot install the panel again. Otherwise its no problem to load and delete the .bin version 1.2.

Thank you for any ideas - I became an instance panel addict the last time and want to have it back

I cannot test any suggestions before next monday, so please be patient for some feedback of me.

I suppose it's because a confusion between "Delete" and "Desinstall" a xxx.tvpx custom panel.
instead of deleting it, try to desinstall it first :
- load (or drag&drop) the xxx.tvpx file and uncheck the gadget beside the panel name, then OK (see pict.),
- then load it again, but check the gadget ON this time, ... it should re-install the Panel,
(the Panel name should be listed when RMB-click on the CP button).

So I learned something new too, but I always back up all my panels inside the TVPaint folder in case I loose one for all sorts of reasons. To back up RMB in black area/This Panel>Export. I've tried Exporting my own custom panel as tvpx but got no where with it and it's still a mystery to me.

Thanks a lot,

ZigOttos workaround brought back my instance panel
