Evolution Stack Panel
Do I need any coding/scripting knowledge to use this addon?
No. For most everyday actions, use "Copy for Stack" to capture commands directly from Blender's UI by clicking buttons/menu items — no code required. For more advanced or conditional logic, the addon includes a library of AI-prompt examples showing how to ask any AI chatbot to write a stack for you, and how to read/verify its answer.
What Blender version do I need?
Blender 5.2 or newer.
Can I use hotkeys that already exist in Blender or other addons?
Yes, but be aware of potential conflicts. The addon lets you scope hotkeys to a specific editor (3D Viewport, Node Editors, UV Editor, Sequencer, etc.) or make them global, so you can avoid overlapping with existing bindings. A conflict-detection check flags overlapping hotkeys within the addon itself.
Can I organize a large number of stacks?
Yes. Stacks can be nested into Groups (which open as a popup panel) and Folders (for organizing long lists), so your setup stays manageable even with dozens of commands.
Will my stacks and settings survive a Blender update or addon update?
Yes. Stacks and global settings are saved to JSON files independently of Blender's own preferences, so they persist across addon updates and Blender version changes.
Does this addon slow down Blender?
No. Stacks only run the operators you've added, one after another, exactly as if you'd triggered them by hand — there's no background process or overhead when idle.
Can I customize how the panel looks?
Yes. You can pick icons from Blender's full icon library (16/24/32 px, light/dark variants), adjust panel colors and corner radius, and set up automatic theme switching to match Blender's dark/light appearance.
I'm not sure how to start — is there anything built-in to help?
Yes. The addon ships with a set of ready-made example stacks you can inspect and adapt, plus a Setup/Global Settings/Instructions tab layout in the preferences with step-by-step guidance.
