If some other PupMenu appear :
1. This script only works on path
: One of selected object isn't a curve.
2. Error can't open curves point
: verify that you are working on the 2.40 version.
Known problems :
1. If your path is a BezierPath it convert it into a NurbPath. 'Natural' path are Nurbs ones : to create a Bezier ones you have to made many manipulations : so if you don't know difference between it don't care.
Future plans :
- Make compatibility with BezierPath.
Version history (most recent in first):
- Discovering on the french forum zoo-logique of the reason of knots problem.
