ChangeLog
- 1.0.1 - Fixed Bone renaming being case sensitive for SFM and using wrong leftover list for Unity
- 1.0.2 - Added button "Fix Close Centered Verts", spitting after "Fix Close Mirrored Verts" which was centering on X zero within tolerance, fixing unintended situations
- 1.0.3 - Added Reset All Keys button, fixed issue with copy & mirror not when _R (right) side is selected
- 1.0.4 - Fixed register naming issue that can conflict with other add-ons ("my_tool" to "shadtools"), compiled script to init file and into a zip.
- 1.1.0 - Greatly improved responsiveness for "Update Same Named Keys"
