Bug: Updating RF when folder contains a dash causes problems

Open vxlcoder opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

Whenever RetopoFlow's add-on folder contains a dash (-) or a period (.), updating using the Updater System causes problems.

The dashes are usually due to the artist installing from an unofficial zip file. Possible source: GitHub's "Source code (zip)" link under releases and the "Download Zip" link under the main page "Code" dropdown will create a zip file where the main RF folder has a dash (ex: "RetopoFlow-master" or "RetopoFlow-3.2.6"). Note: the "RetopoFlow_v3.2.6.zip" link under GH Releases is what we uploaded, and it uses the correctly named folder "RetopoFlow".

I'm not sure how to correct this. Python really does not like folders with dashes or periods in them. Maybe adding a simple warning to the RF start menu would prompt the artist to use official zips?
