Thanks

James, make sure you're using the right version of the VRay Light Lister for the version of VRay you're using.

Hi folks, looks great but when I run the light lister I get this error

--Unknown property: "affect_reflections"in$VRayLight:VRayLight01 @ [_120.578291, 65.613091,1033.5407771]

Hope some one can help fix this

Thanks for your time

Great tool, but it crashes when using Grant Adams RPManager (which I use constantly).

Any chance of getting it working with RPManager?

Cheers
