This is a great tool and a must for all builders. The features that it adds are essential. Thanks for putting this together!

Hate to be the bringer of bad news, but your Update Instances is still broken.. Example: I place a creature in "Area A" then decide to edit his blueprint. I use the 'Update Instances' option, click update annnndddd... well it says "Updated 0 instances in 'Area A'" I suppose it's not meant to update creature blueprints??? or well.. anything at all.

how can you change the directory for the browsing tab (sound, music, icons...)? Because i didn't install the game below "program files...", so it won't find the resources. I think it will be fixed if i just change searching directory of the plugin, but how to do it? I'm using notepad, but can't use it for dlls...
Still not working for me... seems it works for everyone else. Can't figure out why this is the one plugin compiled for the hotfix that doesn't work and just not for me! Weird.

Excellent Plugin! I use it all the time. _________________________ Peace,
Not working with the 1.23 Hotfix for me. Have deleted it and downloaded it twice and it still errors on startup. I can get other plugins to work with the hotfix, just not Powerbar.

Hi ... I downloaded PowerBar.zip from the Vault just now and verified that PowerBar.zip contains the 1.23final version. So, if you're getting the wrong version, try downloading it again. Thanks!

Loved it before I patched to 1.23 beta. Would still love it if I could still use it, I'm sure. ;)
