IMPORTANT USAGE NOTES

* Make sure you have a "saved" .blend file before using the import/export features, then saving before import/export is then not required. The addon needs the file location to know where to create the export and textures folder used for import/export of the files.

File Naming Convention
File names are derived from the selected object name or your blender file name.

* For Substance Painter 2018.1.0-2018.3.0 be sure to tick "2018.1.0-2018.3.0 Project File Fix" in the addon preferences. (See "Preferences" screenshot below)
