Feature Request - Set as Basis
I noticed this add-on removes the stock shapekey function allowing me to set a given shapekey's current state as the new basis which then creates a reversion shapekey. I would love to see this added as I want to use this as part of my standard setup but lacking this ability breaks it pretty badly for me and is pretty unfortunate.
From what I can tell, all of the stock features are available in the Shape Keys+ panel. Could you provide more detail about what exactly went missing?
Are you referring to the "New Shape from Mix"? If so, that can be accessed by click-holding or click-dragging on the "+" button, which opens a menu of things relating to shape key creation.
In any case, the default panel can be unhidden in the add-on's preferences, and will coexist with the Shape Keys+ panel so you can access the layouts and features of both simultaneously.
The reporter is referring to "Apply Selected Shapekey to Basis," which is quite useful and important. I've attached a screenshot showing it. The "Hide Default Panel" option is a good workaround I didn't know about until finding this thread, though.
That one is likely from another add-on. Blender never formats the name as "Shapekey", only either "Shape" or "Shape Key". They also don't call it selection, but rather activation. The issue here is that Shape Keys+ creates a completely new menu, instead of appending to the original like other add-ons do. I did this because my "Mirror Shape Key" operator also mirrors the children of the target folders, and because my UI replaces the "Move to Top" and "Move to Bottom", both of which would break folder data by moving shape keys with no regard for the laws of the add-on's tree hierarchy.
This above "Apply Selected Shapkey to Basis" feature is from CATs blender plugin.
