I'm not good at scripting.

I have many scripts that load itself when i open Metashape and are added in a Custom Menu. (pic 1)
This way i open that menu and click the script i want to run.

Your script does not load automatically when i open Metashape. To make it appear in a custom menu i have to run it through console first. (pic 2).

Is it possible to make it to run automatically when i open Metashape? Can you modify it for me please?

Place script into %LOCALAPPDATA%\Agisoft\Metashape Pro\scripts\
How to do this:

• Press Windows+R keyboard keys
• Type: %LOCALAPPDATA%
• Press OK
• Folder opened
• Open Agisoft\Metashape Pro\scripts\ folder
• Copy script into this folder.

I have already done that as i have done with all other scripts but i get no custom menu for this script.

The menu appears only if i run it through the console.

When i start Metashape i get this error in console

Please download the updated version of the script. Errors fixed.

[Vladimir Denisov]

But if script autoloaded, then dialog not always on top of the main window. May be I fix it later.

[Vladimir Denisov]

Now I fix always on top dialog when autoloading.
version 0.1.5
