Headshot 1 extremly buggy in CC4.31
Hello, I have just purchased Headshot 2. The Hub auto Updated CC4.x to CC4.31 , then installed Headshot 2. Headshot 1 is also still available, which i find great, but i discovered some serious bugs.

Headshot 1.01.0927.1 , CC4.31

CTRL+V does not work properly, works only randomly sometimes or not at all, or when using it in generate character window (with the characters baby etc) the image is used for a face creation, but does not show on the left and shape adjustment etc is not
available. Besides CTRL+V does not work at all when freshly starting CC4. Only after clicking on Headshot 2, STRG+V, close Headshot2,
and then use Headshot 1 with STRG+V, but then very buggy as described above. Importing an image through the load image button seems to work normal.

Please see zip with several example screenshots

hs1a - STRG+V used in the generate character window (left window is empty)
hs1b - Opened using the load image button
hs1c - CTRL+V in the right window
hs1d - next step after clicking generate on hs1c
hs1e - this happened after while hs1d was visible and dbl clicking on the left window, then pressing STRG+V, then generate

Headshot 2 seems to work as expected in this regard

This all brings me to the question if i can safely install headshot 2 on my other Windows 7 machine without ruining my working Headshot Setup. Just want to make shure because of that recent Phyton Plugin Menu issue i am double careful before updating something there.

After doing some more testing i slowly come to the idea both plugins may not work on the same install. Example: when making aface with HS1, then pressing Shift+Q does all kind of weird things.Sometimes it works, sometimes not, makes the Headshot 2 Icon blink sometimes, mousewheel wildly zooming around the lens factor while zooming in main view, character completely disappearing sometimes etc.

.... Headshot information created in HS 1 (such as the image used) is not shown in HS 2,  ...

I have completely removed HS1, and thats what i would highly recommend to anyone using HS2. IIRC what you describe is one of the side effects when having both plugins installed.CC4 may not be able to properly assign loaded project content to HS1 or HS2 when both are installed.

As an addendum though, Headshot information created in HS 1 (such as the image used) is not shown in HS 2, so that is something to be aware of.

As mentioned in the corresponding thread on the forum, Headshot 2 includes all features of Headshot 1, so you can safely uninstall Headshot 1. There is no need for both.
