Path actions - Blender addon

Important note: As for Blender 4.2, Path actions is freely available on the blender extension platform (Download and install directly from Blender)

You can still get it here for previous Blender version (or just to support me ^^)

Reload tool for developer

If developer mode is ticked in preference, another cute button appears at the top corner, next to the already cute folder.
