3 days….
Unfortunately I’ve found I cannot switch -completely- to 2.8 after all; because I’ve started Wayne’s animation courses this month and to continue those courses I will need to use 2.79, because the UI button addons for those courses’ rigs don’t work in 2.8 (addons are disabled).
I am RESOLUTE however about switching to right-click-select on Day 1 of the class! Which is the default setting in 2.8 of course, but which I will have to reset in 2.79.
Since the rig UI addons add the buttons to the N-panel, which is not changed tremendously much in 2.8, I’m hoping that they will simply work as intended once addons are switched back on for 2.8 at which point I finally will be able to switch for good. C’est d’art.
